AKA Boa Morphs? I honestly don't follow that well, so therefore do not know if the problem is apparent on that end as well???

Granted, I was arguing a point that has been brought up often, and yes, there is misconceptions within the genetics of the BP industry. I acquiese to that completely.

I just need to know how to phrase it so that it doesn't end up being confusing to the general public, as HET is as you said, misconstrued.

Which is why I defended Pastel. I think I'll just stick with that.
