Hopefully it stays as beautiful as it is now and stays nice and "clean looking " .
I've seen Lipsticks in the past and they always seemed to be kinda disappointing , as though the colour had bled randomly , throughout the body if you get my drift .
That's because most people that label their sunglows as "lipstick" are doing it for the extra cash on sales. A true lipstick is a snake which can be traced back to Tom Burke stock as he was the one who produced and coined the first lipstick. The thing is, almost all babies are really bright thus why most are called lipstick. After about 2 years, you really know because a normal will usually wash out where a lipstick will keep a majority of the color. Now no matter what, you will get some fading from sunglows. Albinos wash out a lot but that's an albino. The reason most sunglows look better is because sunglow is actually 2 albino genes and a hypo gene where as albinos are just 2 albino genes. That's the difference between sunglow and albino. Then there are sharps and kahls where sharps tend to hold their colors better. Of course there are exceptions. I have seen some really nicely colored non lipstick sunglows.
Oh also forgot, another way to tell an albino from sunglow is look at the tail. On an albino there will be a clear area between the red tail saddle and the white back color. A sunglow, the red saddle will directly touch the white back color, there will be no clear gap between the 2 colors.
BTW I do like that sunglow and the little cinnamon colored guy :)
I think I have mess you up The T +Sunglow CA is not my lipstick Quincy the light colored one is from the Kahl line and lipstick Albino his decription is at Snakesatsunset.com My apologies if I messed you up. And thank you for the tips these are my first Boas ever , I've read every book and Article but good old hands on is the bomb.

Just kill each mouse and toss em to each boa. If they are both babies, 1 extra mouse wont hurt them.
