Hi! A person mailed these pics to me and wondered if her snakes are sunglow
or not (she bought them as that). I wasn't really sure what to answer her so
I'm asking you and I would like you to be really sure about your answer,
please...

I'd say the female is very close, but still too much white; the male definatly isnt.
 
Just what I suspected...The person who sold her the snakes wount admit that he's wrong selling them to her as sunglows...

While I'm at it...Are my 6 year old pair of amels sunglows?
Neither of them has any white in them...

That first female your friend has is so bright! Maybe it's just my computer screen, but I would definitely use her in a sunglow project since she's almost there already.

There is also the possibility that the original breeder of your friend's 2 amels considers "sunglows" as homozygous hypo amels, no matter how much white they have. If that's the case, they may be since amels that are also homozygous hypo really can't be identified as such phenotypically.

A sunglow is supposed to have a bright ground color as well as the lack of white.
 
Ok, now I know how it works. Just wanted to be sure :)

I've always called my pair for ordinary amels since their
backgroud colour is not strong enough.
