Thank you for your input on the situation wonderfully put. I'm not attempting to steal any of Mark's thunder and frankly want to put this to bed once and for all. Mark, I would really like it if you called me. I have emailed you my number but nothing as of yet. Anyhow, the respect street is two ways. I 100% respect Mark and his decision, but the fact is this controversy will not go away unless we settle it like men. The unilateral decision is not the ethical thing when you know there was another born out there previously.

With money comes advertising and with advertising comes spiffy names, and with spiffy names comes recognition and identification. There should be no intention to contrive a tangential name that will only confuse the consumer more than they already are. Spiffy names are cool, but its disheartens me to see an animal(morph) identified as two different names. I'm willing to work with you. Take a poll of 100 people, ask the 5 biggest breeders what they think, whatever...I'd like to see concensus without the ball python world flowing over into boas.

Mark, feel free to call me anytime,

Justin
