So Peach is now Amaretto?

Josh, I might be interested in buying some blueberry, or het blueberry corns from you this year!

Look up some of these morphs- Banana, Crystal, Mystic Potion, Killer Clown, Mimosa, and for kicks, Tiger Orange Dream.

Ok, I did....well I looked up most of them anyway. And I am still not "feeling it". I mean, there is no color represented here that can't be done better and brighter by a colubrid.
My sweet little sunkissed lavender girl can blow them all away! :)
 
Oh you like Purples? Try some Super Phantom stuff, Deep Purple Passions, and take a peek at a Black Pastel Orange Ghost!

Eh colubrids clean their clocks!!
colorwise
feeding wise
shed wise
lower instance of resp infections
and....most popular colubrids are native to the good ol' USA!!!
 
I really don't understand what the fuss is all about. Trade names will either be used or not and what is accepted by the majority will most likely be what is used 10 years from now when the morph is as common as an amel. Honestly, why all this hulabaloo about the originator being the one to give the trade name. If that person does not jump in with a name at the start (or if there are multiple breeders creating the same thing at ther same time), and someone else does 6 years later, bit deal. You snooze, you lose! Is it a perfect match for color? Heck no! But then, what morph is? Many examples of "mismatched" names have been listed throughout this thread. The name "amaretto" is pretty and sounds better than "amberder", IMO, and only time will tell which one becomes the more widely accepted and used.

Agreed! I might be blasted for saying this, but I kind of like the trade names..sure the newer ones are confusing but I don't mind learning them. At my age anything to help keep the mind nimble is a wonderful thing! :)
 
Good points Susan.
I wonder if it's even a good idea to slap a trade name on an f2 combination of genes. Several different clutches of the same genetic/trait carrying offspring can be hatched and there will be a great amount of variation between individuals. Would it not be better to save 'trade names' for f4/f5 line bred and higher? I have a couple of Tequila Sunrise from different breeders, and they do not look much like each other. I think another breeder was working with some of the same genes/traits of TS but called their line 'Blushing', and they were distinctively different looking. Whereas 'Landrace Lava' is consistently either the dark red form, or the more orangey form which is often het sunkissed. Then I wonder if there should be LLa and LLb, to denote the differences. Cayenne is consistently Cayenne. No variation. Either it is a solid colored snake, or it is not. There is no "close enough". Have you noticed lately how many Tesseras have no tessellation ?

Meh. Still all brown-yellow-black-gray snakes. Now _maybe_ if there was a bloodred BP!!

LOL!!! See, I'm not the only one!! I mean, they are pretty enough I guess, but colubrids just do it BETTER!!! :)
Course Nanci is pretty much the Queen of the bloodreds anyway.

edited to add, of course coming to a corn forum and trying to impress up with balls...isn't that rather like going to a BMW forum and trying to get them to drive Porches? (Bad analogy I know...)
 
Just a little personal history/thoughts. I named the Platinum corn . . . original came from Rich as a Ghost Charcoal (full genetics unknown at the time) . . . due to the length of a triple homo snake - Anery Charcoal Hypo and the fact that it was more silvery than either a Ghost or Phantom. Looking back, I probably should have stuck with a ghostier name, but liked Platinum and I was tired of calling them Phantom Anery's. Jay & PJ named the quad homo version Amel Anery Charcoal Hypo snakes Powders because of the powdery appearance at hatching and it retains some of that as it matures. (I really love my Powder, so much more striking than both the Snow and Blizzard.)

Other than that, I prefer to use genetic names over trade names for most morphs for various reasons. For example I don't use Plasma or Fire but prefer Lavender Blood and Amel Blood respectively. I don't use Diffuse either for that matter.

Susan (and KJ . . . who hasn't disappeared) pretty much hit the nail on the head. Use what you want. What's the use complaining about the topic if you don't like what's used when you can use the genetic terms if that's to your liking or the trade names if they are to you liking? (Of course you have every right to complain if you want.) If you're too lazy/busy/distracted to keep up with the trade names, use the genetic names and be done with it.

And, irregardless, the reality is the market will ultimately decide.
