    Hopefully eventually the confusion will clear up. To make matters worse I've read that the name "caramel" was originally coined for the Criders but sounds like they ended up taking longer to get established and by then what we call caramel now had taken the name. So Crider and Ultramel are not "caramel lines", or "caramel forms", or any kind of caramels at all, they just happen to have some similarities in appearance, agreed? They also aren't albinos although they used to be called "caramel albinos". We make things so confusing with our morph names ...

    So, as far as actual caramel lines is there just NERD and Maslin that still have line names?

    Heck, I still see 'enchi pastels' offered for sale even though it was always known to be a seperate mutation from the pastels (which were originally called 'jungle' pastels due to their similarity to the classic jungle balls which are themselves a non-heritable mutation that probably has something to do with irregularities during incubation rather then genetics) For that matter what about the cinnamon pastels and the black pastels which if they actually had any pastel in them would be called pewters instead?

    For that matter, what about the axanthics? Three different lines of recessive mutations and one co-dominant mutation all called axanthic because they cause a reduction in yellow pigmentation? Then theres the gargoyle which is a combination mutation that has less yellow pigment then any of them.

    Naming conventions in ball pythons never really made a lot of sense and probably never will.
