Sunglow?

marcp Sep 07, 2008 09:02 AM

I produced this boa from a male double het sunglow crossed with an albino female. I need some expert opinion on whether it is a sunglow or albino. Please respond with your advice and why.

Sunglow forsure- the tail blotches with no clearish whitish tail rings tell the story. The Albino tail blotch has that whitish clearish type ring around each tail blotch.

check this known sunglow with those clearish tail rings on Bob Clark's site:
http://www.bobclark.com/d_learn.asp?id=117&cat=learn

all of these sunglows on Rich Ihle's site have it to a certain extent closer to the tip of the tail:

Even the top sharp sunglow here on the same site has them:

here's on from Pete Kahl's site:

Exactly my point All those Sunglows tail rings have color bleeding into them. Albino Boa will never have color bleeding into those rings just solid clearish rings.
