sunglow/albino

[Boafan9876]

just bought a albino boa and was just curious what the difference between a sunglow and albino is? do sunglows have more orange threw out there body?

[Will0W783]

A sunglow carries the "hypomelanistic" gene as well as the albino gene. Another way to describe it is a "salmon albino." Due to the presence of the hypo/salmon gene, a sunglow will be a deeper, brighter orange, sometimes a reddish-orange, while a straight albino will often be a creamy yellow or very pale whitish-orange on the background cream to white color. A nice, quality sunglow will have a definite "glow" about its orange, hence the name.

Hope that helps!
