This is a very funny question. The application of these names is odd. of course if its has red and some have less red it can be called something. Or it has yellow and it has less yellow, it can be called something. Of course if black is missing, it can be called something, or less black.
When is it allowed to consider them something different. For instance, the key for Cal kings covers, black, brown, yellow, white, etc, so those are normal according to the discription. So when do they become a named color phase thats different then normal?
ALbinos are absolutely not a normal part of any population. But kings with less black then others are part of the normal population. etc.
This is particularly part of the Ball python captive culture. But common here, using normal genetic traits then breeding them to the extreme. Or mixing natural traits in a unnatural way. That is, breeding in traits that could not occur in nature.
The use of terms designed for wild traits, may not be compared to what is produced in captivity. As they occur in totally different ways. Just some thoughts. Cheers
