sunglow = amel
sunglow are just selectively bred to have no white, just plain red and orange~~

candy canes = amels
just selectively bred to have intense white and contrasting red/orange blotches~

helped indeed.. thank you! but still one question..
how do you see if a snake is a sunglow?

i know a candy cane is easy to recodnize, but a sunglow,, i mean, lots of amels dont have white at all...

look at mine,...sunglow or not?

I think Sunglows have also been bred to have brilliant red and orange coloring, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of contrast between the colors. I think technically your's would be a sunglow since there is no white.

When this morph first came on the seen we simply called them no-whites, Then someone came up with the name Sunglow (don't ask me who). So technically they are an amel. with no white markings. If you go to my website you'll see what I think is a very good example of this morph on the front page. Yes I am bragging.

I think that yours could be considered as a sunglow~~
I know of a few people that will name amels as sunglow even if they have a tint of white on them....and I don't really see any white on yours so I would consider them as sunglows too~

thank you all...
on a photo taken in sunlight it does glow up! hehe

Sunglow can also be a double homozygous of hypo and amel, but most often it is referring to a line bred amel with now white and brilliant colors that "glow"

here is a pic of my Sunglow motley- hypo amel type, not line bred, not the best picture but the color is close enough

 

[red_dragon]

wow, yours looks great... i think im gonna breed hypo amel...

 

[Śiva]

Thanks! the reason they are not as popular/common as the line bred amels is b/c it is hard to identify them from the normal amels unless you breed two known double homozygous Hypo Amels therefore all the babies would be hypo amels as well.
