When names go bad

vjl4 May 06, 2010 10:20 AM

So, heres a good example of naming gone awry. Any one see the ad for a "sunglow" sand boa? Now, if your coming into sands from red tails or colubrids sunglow means a hypo-albino animal. While this particular sand just looks to be more orange than your typical (or old school) albino.

Sunglows are actually very easy to make. Just take a nice albino and put it next to your ugliest albino and whala! you have a sunglow!
