    The lipstick is a line bred albino line bred for amazing coloured sides(coralation) and brightness
    The junglows are jungle sunglows
    With all them genes with the lipstick albino and jungle in there, he should maintain some amazing colour and should only get brighter
    Good luck with your decision, I'm sure you will choose wisely
    Can't wait to see which you choose

    Thank you again for your thoughts, Rich. He is Lipstick as well as the Motley, Sunglow (Kahl), and Jungle. Should be very "red" when older. I will definitely keep you in the loop.

    If it were me, that's what I'd be doing too. I think that's where your heart of hearts lands. You're a smart guy who puts lots of thought and diligence into your decisions.

    I look at it this way...

    Male or female? It sounds like you don't "really" have a preference. And when it comes down to it, you grow them out slow and the size difference isn't a deal maker or breaker...

    Best looking? Well, let's be honest...they're ALL going to be gorgeous animals, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So I don't think you can go wrong any which way.

    Best temperament? This is the only variable (IMO) that will truly seperate one from the pack.

    In 5 years you'll be happy you picked the "sweetheart" of the group. You won't be thinking "this snake is so sweet, I love him/her so much, but that other one was a tiny bit prettier".

    I guess my point is, with looks the difference is miniscule... With gender the difference is subtle especially grown out over years...
    While temperament can be worked with, isn't their personality what truly makes us love the animals?


    Anyway, I don't think you can go wrong any which way. But my gut tells me you'll go for temperament.

    Good luck, I'll be excited to see what you choose!!!
    Craig,

    Thank you for the thoughtful and thorough response. I greatly appreciate it.

    I know, "smokin." I'll see what else he shows me, but I am thinking temperament and personality are the #1 requirement. That has been said here a lot and I tend to agree. I'll show pics as soon as I get them.

    Thank you!
