Doug, I dont disagree with you on your principals. In fact, I think if I personally bred two het. "hypo pueblans" that I would have a hard time selling the normal babies as "pueblans". Especially if I suspected some hanky panky in the gene pool. However, I probably wouldnt have a problem selling the hypo babies as "hypo pueblans" because the MORPH and what it is being called is more or less true to itself. The odds of anyone else selling "hypo pueblans" with differing genetics than mine would probably be slim to none these days. I do like your term "hobby hondurans". Its probably VERY descriptive of the non-morph snake subspecies being sold these days. IMO if you want an albino this, white-sided that, or hypo whatever, you need to be realistic in your expectations of subspecific purity and be happy just having that particular morph in your collection cause you like it and it makes you happy on some sick twisted plane we herpers generally live on LOL!!
