I think you may have meant "hypo/albino" in your cornsnake analogy?(in regards to the mention of the"sunglow".) I think as breeders there should also be some consideration to the elements of truth,and accuracy in regards to the presentation of our endeavors,not just convenience & marketing ploys,or stratagies to make money. It is always nice when new discoveries fit the convenient parameters of what is already commonly thought to be understood by the vast majority of the herpetocultural community,however,without some restraint,and cautious forethought,jumping to premature conclusions can indelibly taint public perception of a project,or classification of an anomoly. I think it's human nature,and not just a sign of the times to want,or even expect instant,pat answers when something new comes along,however,I think that deliberate peddling forward,no matter how seemingly slow,is ALWAYS better than any amount of "backpeddling".in regards to the naming of combinant mutations, I've always thought that they should be geared more towards describing the genetics involved.(For example,I never particularly thought "sunglow" was very appropriate,the term "hybino",used in conjunction with the hypo/albino Honduran milksnakes,makes much more sense to me,but, hey,it wasn't up to me & what's done is done! *lol*) I enjoy reading your input on the situation,and wish you much success in all your projects & endeavors!
