    Well I tooksome more pics of the BP today outside in natural sunlight. Thoes pics are about 4 to 5 months old. I posted them in the BP section and from what it looks like now, everyone agreed it was an average to lower end ball from a top view it doesn't even look like a pastel the color isn't very light but his pattern was okay. Long story short I made the trade even though I already have a female albino baby. So odds are I will try trading the one I got today for a male sunglow, or something. A trade for a male albino would be a loss on my part. I figured I ust traded a 65 dollar snake for a 200+ dollar snake. Idk about breeding, never done it before. Id like to but id immagine balls are harder having to incubate eggs and all. Guess I will see what the reptile show can offer in 3 weeks. Or maybe someone on here wants to work something out. I appreciate everyones help and advise! OHHHH and I'm pretty sure the kid lied to me, he slipped up when I was there and he had a friend there that asked what kinda snake it is and he replied "albino.....sunglow" then showed me his new motley rtb and I asked what he paid and he said "350 and my sunglow" then quickly changed it to albino. So either A he's a retard because he doesn't know snakes or slipped up. But I saw both of them together and they honestly looked identical I don't think either were sunglows.

    Color isn't a good indicator of whether a boa is a sunglow or an albino. There are really washed out sunglows, and really colorful albinos.

    The boa in the first post has fully connected saddles, no suggestion of the reduced hypo pattern whatsoever. It's definitely an albino.

    Having done the trade, you 100% made the right choice. As everyone else has said, i do believe she is just a fanominal albino. Personally i would keep both female albinos and simply get a male hypo het albino to breed to both. Dont get rid of a gorgeous female when you can spend around $125 and in a couple years make $1000+ per female easy. Btw the person you were dealing with does not sound too good with money if he traded a yearling albino female boa for a pastel male bp, and then 350 and a sunglow for a motley. None of that makes any sense....if he tried to lie to you he sure as heck got what was coming to him cause he seems to have lost out BIG time on a coupme trades....

    With all that said I compared her to my other baby female that I have that was sold to me as just an albino and her color is just as well..... BUT she does hae reduced saddles that are not connected. I can post a picture tomorrow. Weird part is I bought that one from a guy that breeds his few redtails and sells out of his house. He had albinos and sunglows. The sunglows he was selling didn't look like some of the pics that were posted thought. He had a couple sunglows and albinos out showing me when I was buying it. Did he mix them up I wonder now? Lol I think I'm just being too optimistic now but either way I'm content. Now with that point made about breeding the 2 females. It won't make anything nice with my male pastel that I have so that makes me wonder if I should sell him and get another type of male.
