been tried and changed.



The Leopards were ORIGINALLY called Mephisto. I guess tha Latin word for devil didn't catch on. So it was changed to Leopard. (Disclaimer: Hans may not have called his Mephisto, but one of the breeders who produced them had.)



The Scoria was originally reffered to as the Pink Patternless. Now Pink Patternless DOES Describe the morph, but the breeder decided Scoria sounded better.



Super Motleys were called Purple Patternlesses, but Super Motley seems to be the accepted term now.



VPI's T-positive Albino Colombians have been called Caramel; after the trend from BP morphs. However, it seems this will never catch on completely.



A name is what is accepted. So I say, let Mark use Moonglow.



Boawoman Hypos (recessive hypomelanistic mutation, reduction in melanin, not like dominant Hypos/Salmons) have nearly changed to Caramel Boas. This makes things confuseing since it and the T-positive Colombians share a name in some cases.



If you like Moonglow use it, if you like Snowglow use it. Eventually one will be accepted, and the other discarded.



Some of you are going to argue that this will make it confuseing for the new guy and the buyer.

Well this isn't the first time. Even now Blizzard seems to be the accepted name for the will be Type II Anerythristic Albino, as opposed to calling it a Type II Snow. Yet, I have seen the possible DH Blizzards resold by other people (Not Jeremy or Pete) and calling them DH Snow. This confuses the heck out of people, left to ask "Can I breed it to a regular DH Snow?" Well in this case that question can't be answered.



Ball Pythons and Corn Snakes have a list of morphs that puts boas to shame. As a result, if you don't follow closely, there are so many names that will confuse you.

Even the name Snowglow will be confuseing. Why not just call it a Hypo Snow? Also, I am sure that a Hypo Snow Corn Snakes exists, if so what is its name?



I am NOT trying to start an arguement, and am posting this PURELY OBJECTIVELY. All of this, I feel, needs to be considered as a WHOLE, not just on the Hypo Snow's name issue.
