I don't object to lumping when lumping make sense. I object to lumping when splitting makes sense. At breakfast time, I want to eat a chicken egg, not just any egg. Or if I'm laying out high dollars to start breeding Sharp strain albino boa constrictors, I want to buy Sharp strain albinos and not just any albino.

Two or three years ago Dave Barker told me that no boa constrictor or ball python had been tested for tyrosinase activity. Unless that has changed, we simply do not know whether one, both, or neither strain of albino boa constrictor is tyrosinase negative.

I'm not up on the tyrosinase testing status on leopard gecko albinos. I'd be interested in any information about it.
