"Lipstick" Sunglows!!

tom burke Jul 24, 2004 08:39 PM

I call them my "Lipstick" Sunglows because they are so dark red they look like they were colored in by crayolas! They were produced by my coral albino male bred to a sister to "Ruby". (5/30 litter) I thought last year "Ruby" produced an outstanding litter with awesome sunglows with the same male but I think her sister (I call her #1) outdid her!! Would you say this male can throw some color around?? LOL What's interesting is he is not my best Coral Albino but he was produced from Pete Kahl's first coral to coral breeding. I guess the double dose of coral did the trick!!!

What did you breed to get that deep red? that can't be a normal hypo and normal albino result is it? taht is some serious red.
Awesome snakes.

We know the Albino came from coral to coral, but what bloodline Hypo was used. They just awesome...the true definition of a Sunglow!!!

Hey Tom,
you should contact Max factor or Maybeleen to sponsor your new line lipstick boas, maybe they can do a commercial using them.
Awesome snakes again.
later,
Nick

and "NO" all albinos or sunglows are NOT created equal .. you get what you pay for with any animal. When you buy the best possible animals you produce the best possible animals.. I think what you have been producing proves this!

Keep up the great work!

WOW Tom Congratulations!!!!! This is really one of the nicest I've seen. Since I have the sister to that female, I'll have to get myself a coral male so I can do the same. Plug!! Plug!! GO DM LINE OF HYPOS!!!!! See you in Daytona!!!!
