Albino or Sunglow ?????

mdc Jul 19, 2003 06:05 PM

Hi everyone,
This guy is finally settled into his new home, so I took him out for some pics. I just thought it might be fun to see how many people think he is an albino and how many think sunglow.

there is too much clear around the saddles.....ie, where the black would be on an otherwise normal boa. Very pretty alb you have there!

Here is an albino and a sunglow born on July 14th for an up close comparison. They haven't shed yet but their colors are quite apparent. I hope you can see it now because when they shed they'll be blinding!! LOL

This is definitley a albino and a very pretty one. All the sunglows I have seen 9 in pics)have solid dorsal blotches with no white at all in the blotches. Also the blotches on a hypo seem to be a bit darker with more color. And the white around the blotches that would be black in a normal is very reduced and is a darker lavenderish color in hypos?
