i have a pair of georgous sunglow motley,i also have a sunglow colored Ultra/Amel Motley male i think that the U/A male should sire the clutch. what do ya think,ive heard that sunglow is not a recessive genetic trait but just a color?

It is absolutely true,..."sunglow" is not recessive, it's a co-dominant trait that would be comparable to the "tri-color" and "tangerine" coloration of the Honduran Milksnake.......many years ago, I had one of the nicest "sunglows" I've ever seen come out of a clutch of average-looking "amels", the snake did not have one single scale of white on it, while the rest of it was a very vivid "pumpkin" orange, with darker borderless blotches...................Doug
