Quote- "We define our morphs by phenotype. Caramels have a Hypomelanistic phenotype."

Hypomelanistic pretty much covers everthing from pastel to all types of albinos and whats actualy called hypos. I could say hypo and be talking about a handfull of different morphs and be right going by the definition of hypo.

The thing is we could call any morph anything descriptive of it's phenotype and be totaly off base in several ways if testing was done to find what made that morph tick.

Are you in school Chris? Man you should use that with the fact you seem to be a boa nut and get some real tests done. I think there would be more than enough folks that would be interested to see the results, for that matter be a good base for a book.
