As you know Sunsets are derived through mixing locals. Mix one ingredient A(hog) with another B (colombian hypo) and you get C.
So to get sunsets or that sunset look (whether you call it a sunset or a sunset looking boa depends on your stance of that particular arguement) you can mix known locales and get the look.
I dont want to start the sunset debate up but my personal opinion on that issue is that originator makes the choice. To my knowledge they are calling it bloodline specific so I personally would respect their wishes and not copy their name. If they feel they have someone special with their particular line, so be it. I havent produced or seen enough hog/hypos or sunsets to debate them.
With corals you cant just go find A .. breed it to B .. and make C (Corals), unless A or B is a coral. Because corals are bloodline specific a piece of the bloodline has to be in the mix for it to happen. In my opinion, The sunset debate has some validity because of the locale cross factor. Think sunglow, (A B = C) .. corals are very different. I dont see how anyone could justify calling their high color albino a coral unless they know 100% for sure it comes from the coral line. And when I think about it, if that were a legitimate thing to do, many people would be doing it (ive seen many high color albinos that resemble coral bloodline albinos). Eventually no one would know which lines are from Peter's bloodline and which are from 3rd party bloodlines. If I buy a coral I want to know that it came from Peters line... not some person who subjectively believes they have corals.
I sure wish Pete would have tacked another word onto coral to make it seem more signature specific. Would have cleared up a lot of confusion. Coral dreams?

Sort of the same thing.. Some key differences though: - topnotchboas, Fri Mar 11 16:22:39 2005
