Albino Strain Questions

Which type of albino Boa has the most vibrant colors and keeps them with age? The sunglows?

And for that matter, what are the different kind of albinos? Off the top of my head I can think of sunglows, the Kahl strain, but I feel like I'm missing a couple more...

Thanks,
Dennis

Sunglows are actually a combination designer that combines the Kahl Albino with hypomelanistic creating a 'brighter' albino. The only T(neg) base morphs that I'm aware of are the Kahl line of albino and the Sharp line of albino.

If you want to add in the so called T(pos) albinos, there are several more strains like the Boa-woman Caramel, the VPI T+ albino and something called the blonde albino.

That clears things up a bunch! Both the Kahl and Sharp albinos change quite a bit with age, right? And how do the sunglows colors change as they mature?

I only have a Kahl albino myself, they do tend to lose their red colors and lose definition and get more solid yellow as they get older, the sharp strain is supposed to keep their colors better with age, but I don't know if it's that much of a difference, I don't own any of those so I don't really know. Hypomelanistics/Salmons also tend to darken up with age, but I don't know if that would also be true of sunglows since they don't have any melanin with which to get darker.
