names of morphs and colors

[therunaway]

ok i must ask, if there is no answer, there is no answer. anyway how do they get the names for the morphs/colors, is it whoever produces it first names it? but god only made dinkers? how did this come out, im so confused .

Generally speaking, the person who discovered the morph to be genetic names it... Sometimes the hobby changes the name itself though. Pastels used to be Pastel Jungles, and there are a few other names that were shortened or changed throughout their days in the hobby.

A dinker is a ball python that is "different" and you want to breed to see if it either passes on cool stuff genetically or even could be a new morph! A dinker could be anything from a normal ball python with a lot of blushing, or a ball python with a never before seen pattern... Just something that has no guarantee of really being anything. If it turns out to be a proven morph..The person breeding it will often name it!

I'd like to petition to rename the spotnose piebald the Bald Spot.

heres a story from graziani reptiles about how the pewter got its name. i just found this like 2 days ago and thought it was pretty cool. it made it even better for me since i have a pewter and learned of the history of his name.
