Anthony,

"We all know now how and why it's technically wrong to name something that way at this point, as the SUPER form is yet to come.... Anthony McCain's Reptiles..."

Nice cheap shot at Jared.. LOL way to be as offensive as possible.

If you ask me, all you people need to stop referring to HOMOZYGOUS animals as SUPERS. That alone is probably the worst trend in the entire ball community. Learn some genetics, and use ACCEPTED definitions, not hokeypoke definitions such as "SUPER" to denote homozygous(by the way it's latin for "the same" duh!).

Also you have griped continuously about the Super Stripe being named so, since it is not a HOMOZYGOUS animal. Well, I'll tell you what, if we are talking genetics terms, he's way more correct in calling his animal a Super Stripe (it really is a Super Looking Striped animal to me!) than to call a homozygous pastel a "Super Pastel", or like the originators of this bad habit, calling a HOMOZYGOUS Tiger Retic a "Super Tiger".

some people just need a swift kick to the groin to knock em off their soapbox, maybe that person is you?
