While not all ball morphs have names that fit, I think most do. Albino, spider, Anery, clown, pinstripe, genetic stripe, bumble bee, lesser plat., and I'm sure there are a few others that I can't think of right now. All of these names seem to fit the look of the ball morph for the most part. Of course it doesn't need to fit but it just makes things easier and makes more sense. Just look at the name that Jeff Ronne gave to boas with reduced black pigment. Pastels??? This confuses a lot of people and is misused a lot. And now the pastel dreams that he sells are very pink, but like we hear over and over "pastels have nothing to do with color." I just think you should go for what makes the most sense. But like I said before what I think doesn't matter. At least he didn't stick to the name the socks boa.
