I was wondering what exactly is a "Lipstick Albino" boa?
I tried to searching and I can't really find an answer, just really nice pictures.
Is it a hypo + albino + jungle?

The Lipstick Line......

I posted this down below but didn't want it to get lost down there....
refers to babies produced by three females in the Burkes collection. These are Hypo het Albino females purchased from D&M Breeders. Ruby as named by Damion of D&M is the nicest of these females and subsequently produced the first "Lipstick" Sunglows. As the name grew in popularity any animals produced from those females came to be known as the Lipstick line. As far as I know all the males used in these breedings were coral albino males that came from Pete.

You are correct that the three females came from DM. However that is where the line ends. Tom uses one albino male bred to those three females to produce the lipsticks. He has tried using a different male to the same females and a different female to the same male and none of those breedings produced lipsticks. The only true lipsticks produced came from that combo of the one male and the three females and that combo only.

Hope that helps answer your Questions.

I think the answer provided in the post above MAY have overshot what you're really asking ( no offense Lar!!! )

A Lipstick LINE( The Keyword!) Albino is an Albino( no Hypo, no Jungle) that, through very selective breeding trials , as above mentioned, has been produced to have outstanding colors versus the "average" Albino Boa. That is your easy answer and also explains why the pictures you found when searching "lipstick albino" were all amazing pictures.

When a breeder has been able to purposefully and consistently produced litters of babies with, again, consistent "above average" results, that breeder has basically created a "line" of whatever morph it is that he is breeding ( in the Lipstick Line, it started with Albinos and Sunglows- a hypo albino). They didnt create the Albino, they just created a blood-line that will reproduce those traits.

I hope this helps as does any other post to your question!!!!

Thanks for clearing it up

Original lipstick sunglow grandparent came from Tom Burke. First up is a lipstick albino:
