Opinions please

I am a new boa owner and purchased this snake with the understanding that albinos and sunglows can be difficult to tell apart due to the variety of colors that these two morphs come in. The seller and I were both unsure of which morph she is. I would appreciate any opinions that anyone has to offer as to which morph that she might be.

Thanks!

It looks like a Sunglow to me.

It also looks like it's going into shed cycle.

I would say Albino. Those saddles are not that pinched, and there
is also spots in the saddles. Im no expert though. I have owned
both, but the difference is borderline though

Sunglow from what I can see.

To be honest I would say its an albino because of the saddles and the spots inside the saddles. Again, its based only on that pic. Something like that may have to be bred to prove out.
