This one thing I don't get about ball pythons. Why name gene combos? Pastel Pinstripe got named Lemon Blast. Ok and the creator of an new combo gets to name it. Ok, lets have some fun. Let's say I breed an Enchi to a Lemon Blast and get an Enchi Lemon Blast. Then I prove out a dinker in a pastel X dinker clutch and I decide to name my new gene (whatever) and the Pastel Dinker combo, "Enchi Lemon Blast". Now how do you tell are real Enchi Lemon Blast from my newly named combo, "Enchi Lemon Blast".
I bred 3 Super Pastel Spiders this year, to me that is so much better than saying Killer Bees. The uninitiated have no idea a "Bee" is a Pastel Spider. True it's probably the first combo you learn but the total number of combos will soon exceed any normal person's memory, and every time you see a new name you'll have to go to WOBP to see if it is a gene or a combo.
Just my 2 cents.
