curious beginner

hi guys i just wanted to know what the distinguishing differences are between a sunglow and an albino. I know that sunglows are typically more vibrant in color but I have seen ads on kingsnake with super contrast albinos and and faint colored sunglows and it would seem to me that it would even be harder to tell once they become adults...
Oh yeah one more question... if you breed a sunglow to a normal, is it possible to get hypos in that litter? Because the sunglow is a hypo albino so I was thinking that maybe it could???Just curious, thanks

Yes exactly like you said sunglows are hypo or salmon albinos. they typically have more red but with the lipstick line albinos and some of the nicer albinos it is hard to tell. Also if you bred a sunglow to a normal you would get all normal and hypo boas het for albino. Hope this helps.
