You know , alot of the names that we are very accustom today were names that seemed bad names when first tagged to a new morph.But now we know what people are talking about when they mention "snow" or "nuck" or "albino" .If they were leusistic then snow whould be a good name and albino ? would'nt amel be a better name, and nuck ??? . Selective breeding is breeding "diferent" animals for a particular "genitic" trait.What the h--- is selictive pressure? Once we get to the point of producing these morphs with some degree of predictability,then we will have no choice but to name it accoringly.We just have to be more careful about how we do it .Example dodoma , flame whats the difference? This thing will work it's self out when the time comes.for now 'reduced pattern' works for me ,but I would have to see the parents before I would buy any reduced patterns myself.
