Keeping with the discussion the terms weren't being used correctly, but with the Internet and digital photography, we don't need a new system... just show the parents. I keep pretty detailed records of my projects. Parent... hold backs (F1)... and F2's photos... there are many ways to accurately represent your stock.

over the next several years I'll be mixing and match all sorts of phenotypes to produce particular "looks"... (I have a vision)... I'll be very sure to show the line of inheritance to anyone interested in asking/knowing.

The only way I wouldn't know info on my stock, was if I purchased a killer snake at a show and the breeder had no info (but I don't really buy from shows any more and I've thinned out snakes I really had zero information on so I have pretty accurate records)... My friends say I have "Borderline OCD?" because I like organization... I take it as a compliment!

So new system... I don't think we need one... we all just need to get with the times, take pictures and keep records. We ALL wont do it... but that's what sets responsible breeders apart from "others."
