Piebaldism?

[h00blah]

So im curious then. Is it a piebald gene that causes this--or a gene mutation--or did someone breed and then decide to call the morph piebald because of the color?

i understand the question, i would like to x2 it too =p.

like if someone named the green tree boa an emerald green bc its literally made of emeralds, or is it just bc it resembles it.
did someone name the piebald pied bc it literally is pied? or is it just bc it resembles one?
