It is actually a locality reference. How can a bloodline suddenly NOT be? I know why...when they are bred into other lines. It is a locality reference as long as they are simply bred true. Simple as that, end of story.
Shouldn't things simply be called for what they are, and should breeders try to label things correctly? When things are labeled with a certain locality, the buyer actually may be tempted to think that they are actually getting that certain locality. Unfortunately, when things are labeled one way, when in actuality, they are not, that is when confusion starts.
Calling something a locality when it isn't is still different than knowing something IS a locality when it is.
Adopting the same lazy attitude that people have been calling certain looking corns, Okeetee corns, when it fact they are not, doesn't have to spread to other scenes with other species.
Non-locality does not mean the snake is any less valuable, cool, or what not. Just label them properly! It is not that hard to do. The sad thing is, there are breeders out there that may put the label on their snakes as a selling point. Using the excuse that they if LOOK like a Stillwater hypo, they must be labeled that way, is all about making money, due to the uniqueness of this locality morph. If breeders are worried about not selling them because of a generic term of " hypo ", and they then slap on the " Stillwater " label as a selling point, then what can anyone conclude, other than some unprofessional selling tactic being played out?
Proper labeling would avoid any of this, along with being honest with intentions.
