Need opinions on a nickname!

ZachClapperton Nov 09, 2011 05:46 PM

You guys may remember me posting a picture of this girl about 6 months ago. She is the first sharp bloody sunglow produced and I've been trying to come up with a nickname that suits her intense orange color. It seemed like everything I thought of was already taken by some other morph (some were other species), and I wanted to come up with something brand new. After some pondering I thought, what better than referring to some sort of gemstone. I came across a bright orange stone called a fire opal and the name, which reminded me a lot of this girl's color. So, I have chosen the nickname Fire Opal Boa and would love to hear everyone's opinion. I realize some of you will still refer to the morph as a sharp bloody sunglow or sharp sunglow blood but I thought a boa like this deserved a nickname different from the norm.

That is one amazing animal. I'd call it a Lavaglow,
