**I agree with everything said however, if I have a snake that is visually representative of an albino but carries the lavender genetics do I not have an albino lavender? And shouldn't I represent the animals as being such?**
If you have a cal king that is an albino but carries the recessive gene of lavender, then you have an albino cal king that is het for lavender. You said "carry", not "display".
Now if you have a cal king that is displaying BOTH albino and lavender at the same time and you KNOW THAT because YOU PRODUCED it, then I would like to see a pic of one and have you tell my the differences. 
When people throw out terms like "albino, lavender, hypo, ghost/Palomar, Blue-eyed Blonde, Blizzard, Coral Ghost, Casper, etc" it represents a snake that is displaying a recessive gene and the resulting breeding outcome can be predicted (punnet's square). Obviously a snake that "LOOKS LIKE" a certain recessive trait is misleading and advertising it as such is not honest. I have sold quite a few snakes that look "hypo" but I never labeled them as such as that would not be honest.
