A little visual comparison...

A regular Albino vs. a Cherrybomb. First the Albino

Now a Cherry

Both are gorgeous animals, IMO!

The albino is a yearling and the cherrybomb is a 2 year old. I don't consider one necessarily "better" than the other, but equal in different measures. Some people may like one form, some may like another. By comparison, I didn't mean a contest for the "better" albino, I meant truly a comparison of the variation and differening forms. I have seen your albinos and you have some stunners, but I still like these for their own qualitites too.

i wasn't meaning a competition. but my goal, and i think many others', is to produce and have the reddest bloods, whether it be normals or albinos.

i dont think someone would invest the money into cherry bombs unless this was their goal as well....

I have one albino that is far from red and more of a pumpkin orange.

Having the reddest bloods is a fine goal, but so would be to have the most orange albinos, or the pinkest, etc. Yellow albinos I have seen from the Barkers are none-to-shabby themselves. It's just nice to be able to enjoy such diversity.

I think the decision to invest in any animal is a very personal one and I think I could speak for most or all Cherrybomb owners in saying that we are VERY glad that we did buy them. They are insane!

Unreal does not do justice to BOTH of them. But, the Cherry Bomb is, well, I think you know how I feel...

Matt, Those are both beautiful snakes!! I think the variability in bloods is one of the most rewarding things about keeping them.
