There could theoreticlly be 100 strains of T pos. albino,(or one for each subspecies/race/locality specific island form,etc...)it doesn't mean they would all neccessarily be compatible,they don't need to be called anything different than what they appear & prove,(through breeding.)to be...example: we have two incompatible strains of T neg. amelanistic boas,both are obviously,(based on appearance)albinos,we don't need to come up with a different name for the second one,all we need is a name for the strain to distinguish between them....as for the Honduran thing...if there are both hypomelanistic & T pos. albinos,I can think of no particular reason to lump them together for the sake of "simplicity". two different anomolies-two different genetic terms,clinging to what they were originally thought to be would seem like a form of denial for the sake of convenience? as our perception changes so do the things we looked at yesterday. (or "should".)
