Interesting thoughts, we seem to think alike..is this a good thing? I don't mind being a Dummy I guess...I remember seeing that first Argentine in Orlando and wondered why they changed names on me...I have yet to be able to afford one and regardless of what they are called, I still want them. I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers. I, like you obviously just wondered why things were being reffered to the way they were at this point in the hobby. Like I said in my first post, I most likely am 100% wrong. As we all will most likely be proven to be, at least in the strictest scientific sense. I was told by someone recently when we were discussing the identity of some Ball Python mutations that there are at least 50 different genes responsible for the color Black in cattle....that's a mindblower and certainly puts it into perspective for me as to how little we really DO know and the infancy at which this hobby is on compared to rodent or cattle genetics....
So, Boaphile, if you and I are calling all the T positive animals recessive hypos from here on out....I say we also come up with a new name for the original hypos (the incomplete dominant/dominant ones) since they exhibit more than just a reduction in black pigment and affect the pattern as well.
If we are going to change the world, might as well really screw things up 
Hey...Salmon Boa sounds good....wait, oh nevermind...
