Nice looking sunglow you picked up. I would say she is just a normal sunglow from the price you paid for her. She could be a super sunglow as she is very clean looking to me. The super means she is double het for hypo. The only way to know for sure if she is a super is to breeder her when she is older. If she is a super and you breed her to a normal or a hypo boa all the babies will be hypo and het for albino. With the hypo breeding you would also get super hypo’s. If you breed her to a albino all the babies will be sunglows if she is a super. If she is not a super you would get albinos and sunglow.

Here is a link to some of my 2016 baby albinos and sunglow. The picture headings tell you what they are like “albino or sun”. Like others have said the hypo gene is what reduces the pattern.
