I wasn't talking about sunsets and sunglows being the same... I was asking about the Sunsets and sunset crosses that can be seen at pretty much every show. Are they merely called "hypo Hogs" or is every person that produces one allowed to name it somehting different? If I am correct, a "sunset cross" is a cross between a Hypo and a Hog.... Maybe I am way off base in saying this,but can't anyone that produces something that has been produced, but because they produced it on thier own, call it something different because they produced it from thier own stock and not working with someone elses stock? Because from what I read here a few posts back, "sunsets" are only from this one persons stock, and was produced by this one person. Speaking in the terms of Ball pythons... There are Pastel balls, and they all have the same genetic make-up, and can be interbred to produce more pastels, no matter the line they are from...... But they are ALL pastels... one line didn't get to "coin" the phrase pastel, and block others from using it.. I could understand this if you bred a Sunset to someone elses Hypo-hog, and you didnt get anyhting out of it but normals, but I am about 100% sure that if you breed a sunset with a hypo hog, you will get more of the same... I think the "naming thing" is all about big heads, and money... thats my personal opinion, but probably true.
