I'm just going to call it what it is. (if I hit the LONG odds it would be the super pastel pied.) The only problem I have with that is that the next guy to produce one might go ahead and name it...

I like the fact that all the base morphs have cool names. I think that's awesome. The name should have some clue as so the look of the animal IMO. Most base morph names really do fit the animal they belong to. After the base morphs I've resolved to call things by their ingredients.

It would be really interesting to have a set naming system kind of like chemical compounds in chemistry or latin naming of medical stuff... but i don't want to ppl to have to take a college course in order to understand bp combos!!!!!

YES! Somebody makes it after the person who named said combo what it is --"Super Pastel Pied" -- Nice Justin!!! Hope you hit it. I digress. The second maker decides he wants more "BLING" attached to this new combo -- so he names it. And let's say most would agree it is a GREAT name. That is not the point!!!

If someone makes a combo from an ESTABLISHED LINE (captive-hatched and wild-caught are a completly different argument) of base morphs 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. -- he "should" follow suit and respect WHATEVER the primary-maker named it -- even if that name does not "float his boat".

With that in mind, I am not sure I will be able to show the resolve as you. I would rather a snake I produced carry my absurd name rather than take the chance that it will become known by someone else's absurd name! The possibility of someone naming something I, or anyone else, produced FIRST just "burns my butt". It is rude IMO.

For those of you who read this post and are thinking why is this guy getting his painties in a bunch over this naming thing -- just wait and see how many times this comes up this issue comes up in the next 2-3 years.

I think a rule book is in order. I've got it! A think-tank should be formed at Daytona this summer and this "name game" should be settled once and for all!!! LOL

Seriously, I'm with you Justin. Name combos according to what made them. But, if someone hits a combo and gives it a hideous/ridiculous/infantile name -- FOLLOW SUIT!
