We do have these awesome names for corns though Steve..............LOL

Ice, Diamond, Powder, Quartz, Whiteout and of course already mantioned, Avalance.

A "Diamond" don't look like a diamond and a "Ice" DEFIANTLY don't look like ice (just don't make sense to me ) If it did, I surely wouldn't put in my glass.
The last 4 look very closely, if not look exactly the same..

Oh yeah, lets not forget the FIRE. Yeah that sure looks like fire.

Can't wait for my Amarettos to hatch !!

BOUT' CORNS !!

Don't forget Citrine, the Orange/ Amber colored jewel. Which name was picked for a White snake.

Sorry if the people who named them are well respected individuals. But that was my first thought seeing some of the ball python names lol.

Names may be confusing but the Soul Sucker's a 17k snake. For that price you could call it whatever you want!

You can call the guy who buys it for that whatever you want also

Ok, so how do we stop the ridiculousness of unfitting "trade names"? I think it has been pointed out many times that a lot of the current ones do not make sense at all. Do we do away with them as a whole, take a community vote each time there is a new morph, or just ignore when a new (unfitting) name is used? I mean, come on...what's next? Banana, lemon, cherry, pomegranate, apricot, kumquat, pepper, salt, sugar, ruby, sapphire, amethyst, gravel, dirt...etc??? It's just getting out of hand. Not as bad as the ball python morph names, but unfortunately, getting close to it...

I say ignore it until it goes away.

As much as Peach is unfitting (visually) for this "Lavender Hypo Caramel" morph, so is Amaretto. Is there a reason why Amaretto is more fitting? Is it because it sounds better? I'm not trying to stir the pot (especially since it's already been stirred), but I'm just trying to understand how a brownish-colored drink is relatable to a lavenderish/yellowish snake?

Hey a male Soulsucker will get you your money back in a year, no problem.

What does that have to do with the name being positively idiotic??
How much money a male ball python with a silly morph name will make for you....I mean I know these threads do tend to go on tangents, but really David?

Well I was assuming from what Chris said above, it was foolish to buy one. If I misinterpreted, I apologize.
