OK, here it goes....I lived in England when I was about 7 years old, probably from like 5-11, give or take. I had Open Heart Surgury in London at what was at the time, the best childrens hospital in the world. All went fine! I was very lucky! My parents would come see me every day, several times a day, and bring me Rolos, that candy. Kind of gave me something to look foreward too each day, and took my mind off of the needles, testing, etc. Can I name the new Mojave cross morph the Rolo Ball? Legal issues? Trade Mark issues?

The babies are brown with caramel colored markings on their backs, and assuming they end up looking like the adult female, they are a caramel color as adults. Rolos, for those who do not know, are Chocolate and Caramel candies, think the name would be fitting. Milk chocolate (brown) and caramel (caramel), the color of the candy and the snakes. Anyone have any comments? I know most people would like to have a morph named only after we are sure it is not something already named, HOWEVER, I am getting tired of writing Mojave cross morph, when the original female is not a Mojave at all, and niether is the "morph." They got the name because the first offspring looked like Hypo Mojaves, but came from a Dom animal, not simple recessive. The "Morph", possible Rolo Ball, is on the right, center snake is what I believe is a Pastel Morph, and the snake on the far left is a normal male sibling. The two lone snakes are the adult female. She is more of a toffee, caramel color but in most pics, she comes out almost looking burgundy, but not burdundy in person. Any and all comments welcome!
