Newby questions

Ok.........I think these must be fundermental questions, but I don't know unless I ask.

First, I see the term PC associated with salmons associated with Rich Ihle lineage. What does the term PC mean and what is its significance?

Next, what are the differences between a normal albino and a sunglow? I know that a "sunglow" carries both the codominant salmon and the recessive albino genes but what are the distinguishing visible differences?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

PC is a line of boas that Rich has been breeding to add the color pink into the animals. I believe PC stands for Pink Colombian. If I'm not mistaken Rich bred a male hypo to a super pink colombian and that is where the name got started.

As for the sunglows, they have the more intense red color that comes along with the hypos. They are generally much brighter than the albinos and often have some reduced patterning as well due to the salmon influence.

Hope this helps,
Matt
