Blonde hognose: Real or not real?

So we picked up a 1.1 pair of blonde hognose a little while ago. I can't remember where I saw it, but I read there was some controversy as far as if it was morph/phase or just what breeders call their light normals. Basically, I just want know if anyone has the skinny on this topic. I was well aware that they might be normals prior to purchase, so I won't get offended if it turns our that way As far as I'm concerned, I got a smokin deal even if they are normal. I just want to settle my curiosity. Thoughts?

Hmmm. I thought blonde was a morph, sure see a lot of them! My male was sold to me as a blonde and he is certainly much lighter (blonder?) than my normal. But I suppose he could just be a light colored normal? I guess the question would be, is that light color a genetic reproducible trait? Now you have peeked my curiosity!

I smell an experiment in the works! Lol Do you plan on breeding yours? Oh and you should definitely post some pics of your guy I want to get some side-by-sides with our normal, but they're still in QT :/ Mine seem a bit lighter, but I'm not sure if it's definitive.
