ok I feel like an idiot! but i'm gonna ask anyway. how do you tell the difference between the two. I purchased a baby as an albino yesterday. the owner just said it was albino. I didn't get any real info as it was a CL ad and they were really annoying to deal with but for the price I scooped it up. well when I went to check its tub today I saw that it had shed. Now I thought no pattern in the shed meant the presence of the hypo gene. I know that to be true with most other species but is it different in boas? my hypo arabesque sheds are clear. I know it could be difficult to see a pattern in an albino but wouldn't the tail pattern be pretty well visible? The shed is completely clear, no tail pattern in it at all. It would be sweet to have picked up a sunglow at a rock bottom albino price but i'm probably not that lucky. either way i'm happy with my new pick up. I love his color around his tail pattern! heres a couple quick cell pics. maybe someone will be able to tell me something. thanks folks
