Smart choice Ricky. Yes, a snake in shed will be more dull, but not that much. If a snake is a sunglow, it will look like a sunglow whether its in shed or not. In my honest opinion, that is no sunglow.
Don't settle and be patient. You will be glad you waited for the right snake. And even if Lipsticks are rare in Canada, they are not impossible to find. Just be patient. :gj:
