You would think this community would stop behaving this way and showing its arse, I mean this thread is only all over Facebook and the Internet since it was reported via The Reptile Report...
Considering the fact that any and all threads that are interesting, contain good facts, or experience that herpers all over may want to know, are being linked all over by The Reptile Report, I would personally be embarrassed for the world to see these replies.
The OP is factually correct. We are all aware of this. Another fact is that it would be nearly impossible to get hundreds of thousands of herpers to suddenly change their terminology. It's similar to the problem we occasionally get with a morph having different names because breeders can not agree who named it first or produced it first.
Good luck getting the reptile community to begin using all the proper genetic terminology..
