I recently published a brief this subject at www.rosyboa.com, since I own the site I will reprint below. I'm sorry but I must have missed church the day the preacher said: "...and God crossed a hypo with an anery, and it was good - thus it was so named a genetic ghost". LOL

Well you should have gone to church that day because theologically speaking you have become a heretic.


Though I understand what you are saying that the two rosys in question have a ghost or snow like appearance it is still a form of hypomelanism. By confusing these term will just make people turn away from an already devaluated species.

It has been accepted throughout herpetoculture that a ghost is a hypo x anery/axanthic. Otherwise why don't we name each snake on an individaul basis? Like how about calling them snows? or Pastels? LOL! *sarcasim over*

A better name would be Extreme hypo or something along those lines.
