It has been nearly a year and the SHARPness in this girl is shining through. I tried my best to accurately portray the RED/PINK coloration by capturing her true colors in the indirect, natural sunlight. There needs to be a class taught on taking pictures of albino boas! Too much light, they are washed out- too little light, they look orange-ish/yellow and unimpressive. Take a look at these side shots:
Keep in mind, this girl will be one year old the 29th and is around 4 feet in length. More often than not, albinos and many Sunglows lose much of their brilliant neonate coloration as they mature. This is not the case at all with Sharps, and Sharp Sunglows for that matter- they grow more impressive with each and every shed!
I was fortunate enough to have another litter of Sharp Sunglows this past Friday and they look great! My most colorful female Sharp (with the donation of my deep red male DH Sharp Sunglow) presented me with 9 Sharp Sunglows, 7 Sharps Albinos, 5 DH Sharp Sunglows, and 5 het Sharps. Last year’s litter had only 17 babies and this year there were 26. Odds were on my side this year! Here is a little peek of a Sharp Sunglow next to a normal Sharp (both in their sacs):
I can’t wait until the Sharp Albino is integrated into Jungles, Motleys, and Arabesques. Soon, real soon…
Comments welcome.
