the way we name things?
We have done pretty good so far and I am happy about that I just don't want to see this section (hondurans)go like others have were you are scratching your head going what?were is that snake a ghost?or a luecistic etc.

anyways,I think we need to figure out if we are calling the extreme hypo a extreme hypo because of a look?or because of a bloodline?

It does matter because there will be so many fake extreme's being sold in the next couple years (Don Shores and myself already got took on a couple)that we should set up some guide lines?

If you look at the boa constrictors they have kept it real clear and simple.There are two lines of albinos(kahl and sharp)and two lines of hypo (generic and salmon).
So when you see a dbl-het hybino boa they will always say its kahl and salmon or whatever and it really helps cause the outcome is differant ofcouarse.
Same is true with the three types of anerys on the corns.You get snows vs.blizzards depending on the anery used etc.........


Anyways,I think if we are to use the extreme(and we have already started)in dbl morphs we need to establish some kind of system to determine if its a extreme or not?Well at this point its only a extreme if its from a extreme bloodline or is just obviously one at birth?

What do you guys think?

Shannon
