First, excellent job! Keep them coming!

Second, my two cents on the naming question, though as a science nerd not a herp breeder.

I'm big on "truth in advertising", and like to know about the genetics/development side of things. I like names that hint at the mechanism (e.g. anerythristic, hypomelanistic, Tyrosinase-/+, etc.) and am less of a fan of names that feel like an advertising agency came up with them (e.g. sunglow, candy cane, clown, etc.)

Basically - whatever name you pick, keep it simple and descriptive. Including something to distinguish it from other similar lines might be as simple as throwing a "Sancho" or your name into the label. These snakes are attractive enough that a flashy name would be totally unnecessary!!
