Naming Morphs

So, since spider and pastel and all the others are not in the wild, when a new morph is found, who names it. does it get "reviewed" to see if its a real morph? Does the morph get like...."approved". i dont know i was just curious

Actually Spider and Pastel are base morphs that appear in the wild, both were imported to the US and than proved out.

ok so what about naming ones like cinnamon and jungle and all the others

I think that for the most part the person who begins breeding the animal and starts working with the genetics, seeing if it's dom/co-dom/recessive etc., and proves out that the mutation is genetic, gets to name the morph.

cool thank you

When I find one, I would name it based on the looks, which I think most people have done...

Granted there are some that I feel are WAY off base, like... pshht... BALL Python... I would have called it Super Awesome Python.

:rofl:

I think his intention was to give it a hyper-masculine name so we'd all feel better about messing around with these wussy snakes... ;-)

Like naming a Pomeranian Spike...

LMAO!

I have a couple that would make you take back the whole "Wussy snake" comment.

But I still wouldn't title them with Doom and Destruction...
