it looks like a hypo motley to me

I wouldn't consider it as a sunglow because sunglows are amels, which should have red eyes. Where as hypos don't have red eyes. Well from what I see in the picture, the snake has black eyes. Which means it's not albino red...which is not an amel type (amels could be normal amel, candy cane, and sunglow)

Can we get a picture of the belly? If it has a plain belly, then it's a hypo motley (I would say it's a hypo and I am quite sure of that too....LOL)

Anyway, plain belly = motley or bloodred checkered belly = normal
but this doesn't look like that it has any bloodred in it since it's already so big. So I would say if it has a plain belly then it's motley.

I can say that I am quite sure that it's a hypo motley. But can't say for definate until we see a picture of belly...

Thanks~

Hope this helped~~

Simon you're right her eyes are black not red.
Her belly is definately plain white.
I thought Hypo's usually had a some white in them??
Now I'm really confused lol.
I don't really care what she is coz she's great.
Just nice to be informed when people ask.
Can't show belly for few days as she's just shed and eaten two mice this morning.
Been looking at photo's of other hypo's and sunglows this morning and the only thing that tells them apart are the eyes so guess you're right.

Here's my 3yr old male sunglow, but I would think the snake in question may be hypo

I'd have to agree with everyone...it appears to be a hypo to me. Sunglows have that...glowing effect, lol. If you look closely, you can see a faint wash of melanin on the sides of the saddles on the bottom two thirds of the snake, where the scales turn deep orange. Kinda a little thing, but that's what hit me right after the eyes.
