What would be the best morph to breed a motley to..

What would be the best morph to breed a sunglow to..

What would you get if you breed a motley to a sunglow?

Thanks, kinda a newbie here. Spent alot of time on burms in the past.

super, a sunglow x motley SHOULD yield:

motleys
hypos
hypo motleys
normals

If the sunglow is a super, you would get:

hypo motleys
hypos

All would be het. for albino. You could get any combo of those phenotypes. You could get 50% hypos and 50% motleys. You could get 50% hypo motleys and 50% normals. Maybe even 25% of each. As far as what would be best to bred to each, that's a matter of opinion and where you may want your projects to go. Good luck deciding what to do.

Let see if I got this right..
A sunglow is a visible albino hypo(co dom)?
What would a hypo motley look like? What would you get by breeding a sunglow to another sunglow, super sunglows? what do those look like.

Hypo is a dominant mutation. The heterozygous and homozygous forms have the same phenotype. Super Sunglow look like Sunglows, however when bred to a non-hypo morph, produce all Hypos. Breeding a Super Sunglow to an Albino would give you all Sunglows (though it isn't a good idea to breed Albino morphs together, better if one of the parents is a het).
This is a Hypo Motley (Actual snake is het Anery as well, picture taken by Linda Hedgpeth of her snake, off of sierraserpents.com):
