    Arabesque Sunglow question
    What pair would I need to purchase in order to produce one? I started looking for a pink snake for my wife and all I found many cornsnakes but then I stumbled on Burkes Reptiles page and saw his Arabesque Sunglow. She and I both fell in love with his snakes. Thank you for any replies.

    An Arabesque het for albino female and a normal sunglow male :) That should do it, yup yup.

    Arabesque and hypo are both incomplete dominant whereas albino is recessive. You could possibly do it with an Arabesque het albino and a hypo het albino, but the odds would be less on getting the Arabesque sunglow from that.

    Would my odds be even better getting a Arabesque Albino and then a Sunglow....or what about a DH Sunglow......I think what makes a Sunglow is throwing more than anything. For that matter how can you tell a Arabesque from a Normal......Boa morphs are getting me all in a twist :confused:

    Best to use a female het because a lot of times female albinos throw stillborns, preemies and/or slugs.

    The Arabesque feature is easy to see when compared to a normal.

    Normal:

    Saddles are different and have connecting lines down the sides, markings are quite different as well. There are normals with connecting lines, too, but they are nothing like an Arabesque.

    A sunglow is the combination of hypo and albino. One incomplete dominant trait, the other recessive.

    Hope that helps.

    Re: Arabesque Sunglow question
    I guess I can add to this as well
    Arabesque het albino X hypo het albino(dh sunglow)
    Albino Arabesque X hypo het albino
    Hypo arabesque het albino x het albino
    Hypo arabesque het albino x albino
    Cheapest route would probably be arabesque het albino x hypo het albino but even then, the odds aren't 100%.

    I think I am going to go the Albino Arabesque X Hypo Het Albino route with the Hypo Het. being the female.....I'll get her soon and next year or so I'll pick up a Albino Arabesque when prices are down a little. Thank you guys for all your help
