    genetic question + some

    So I haven't had a rtb in almost a decade. My genetic question is: what makes a true sunglow? I thought it was hypo + albino but I've seen a lot of ads for sunglows that are not listing hypo in the pairing. Also isn't hypomealinostic a recessive trait? If it is then why am I seeing the term "probable super hypo" ? Next question is besides buying john berrys book guide to morphs vol. 1 where can I find all my genetic answers? I'm getting my first boa this week end. It's not a rtb but a dumerils. However I am currently looking for a sunglow rtb next. Any suggestions as to where or who I should check out? Also is there any preference on Sharp or khal strain of albino? Thanks all.

    The Kahl strain albino sunglows will be cheaper. I think they are better looking, but that's just me.

    Hypo in boas is codom. It can be hard to tell if a baby from a hypo to hypo breeding is a super or not. You may think you have a super and get proved wrong when breeding the animal. And vice versa.

    A sunglow is a hypo ablino. If someone has a sunglow listed, it is understood that it is a hypo albino.

    Check out Summit Reptiles for available animals.

    Thank you very much! I was starting to think the boa people were ignoring me because I'm not into boas full swing yet. lol

    Kahl is cheaper. Sharp appears to be more colorful, but I'm not sure how well sharp competes with things like lipstick kahl or coral kahl sunglows.

    All in all there are superior examples and inferior examples of every morph out there. A good kahl sunglow could end up looking a lot better than a low end sharp.
