Its ALL about selective breeding as most of you already know. Anyone can slap a "label" on it and call it what they want. Does that make it something different then all the rest? Of course not. We all know that if you consistantly breed the best to the best, you will enevitably come up with something like the "lipstick line" and so on. It is a marketing stratagy as was already mentioned here. Because no matter how you cut it, a kahl albino is a kahl albino etc etc. This topic could be thrown at MANY different bloodlines out there, but that is for another day. If you produce outstanding boas (or ugly ones or that matter), you have the right to "label" them or name them as you wish. That certainly does not make them so. But if it makes someone feel good to name what they like to THNK is their line, good for them I guess. Speaking of selective breeding... i have half a dozen gravid female pastels that i am waiting to drop! I cant wait to label them all with new names... tootie fruity pastels, orange marmalade pastels, grapefruit pastels....he he.
