    MANY normal Colombians have orangish or pink blushing. And their tails will always range from bright red to brown to black. This in no way makes them hypomelanistic or anything other than a NORMAL wildtype. It just makes them very nice normals with lots of coloration.

    If the mother is a sunglow, then these 2 will carry the albino gene so they are 100% het albino. If their original breeder told you the male was Aby line, he probably meant that that male came from an Aby line pairing. But I seriously doubt the father was a hypo since when paired with a sunglow, these 2 very normal babies were produced.

    I am not trying to be rude, but YOU asked the question. I am sorry you don't like the answer, but it is what it is. Your 2 snakes are Normals and if bred together will not produce anything other than normals 66% het albino and a few visual albinos. If you don't believe me, go ahead and breed them. The litter will speak for itself. And I DID say they would, in fact, produce some visuals. In this case, 25% of the offspring should statistically be visual albinos. Frankly, with their mother having been a sunglow, that is not at issue at all. The question seems to be in regards to these 2 snakes being hypo and therefore Aby line.

I never saw her litter mates so I cannot a test to them, but she has some major orange and pink on her sides and belly, plus an odd blue-gray tint to her grayer areas. The male has a lot of gold and brown on him so that makes me doubtful of albino blood but I also doubt it's impossible. I agree that neither are hypo, if you cannot believe Evenstar, then believe logic...
    Hypomelanistic: below melanin...melanin causes dark pigments...the decent amount of black on both specimens is an obvious sign of at least average melanin ratios, therefore she is not hypomelanistic. Very nice pair, nice consistent patterns that would produce beautiful specimens hets or not.
    Exactly right.
