I'm still curious to know how "Amaretto" was chosen for this morph? I'm just wondering, not complaining. Walter?
PS - Can we bring this topic back to what it is really about? If you want to talk about Ball pythons and geckos, how about discussing them at the General Chit-Chat Forum

Jarrett,
it's one of the names I had in mind for this particular morph. For some odd reason, every time I look at my Amaretto, it reminds me of two things, one in my younger years when I was out and about as a night owl, I used to drink amaretto & pineapple. Also, when I used to have a coffee before work in the morning, I always used the Amaretto flavored creamer, which both somewhat resembles the coloration.
I never did like the terms Amberder or any of the other terms being used, so I tossed out Amaretto due to the reasons above. Quite a few people seemed to like it
(and of course some don't, which was to be expected).
In all reality, you are NEVER going to get EVERYONE to like a trade name.....wether they like trade names or not. As mentioned in this thread 100 times, those who like it will use it, those that don't can simply use the genetic term.......Hypo Lavender Caramel ( or Amber Lavender if they perfer ) however, it's going to get to be a pain in the butt for those who choose to use the genetic terms when another couple traits are added to the equation.
Example: Hypo Lavender Caramel Striped Bloodred
That's not going to fit to well on a deli cup lable. Of course it could be labled.......Amber Lavender Striped Bloodred, but that's not much shorter either
OH and for the record, I don't hold any hard feelings towards anyone who does not like the the term Amaretto, but some of the remarks made did seem a little childish to me...........just my opinion.

Hey Walter,
Thanks for giving the background to how you came up with the name. I was trying to find out if there was a reason behind it or if it was just a random "nice sounding" name for the morph. While I was feeding the other day, I actually thought it would be a nice name for Caramel Bloodreds. The color is almost exactly on target. I'd be a fan and use that trade name for Caramel Bloodreds for sure.
Even though I don't plan on ever producing one, if I had a "Hypo Lavender Caramel Striped Bloodred," I'd probably call it an "Amber Plasma Stripe" to shorten the name. There are already two well-established trade names with those genetics, and pattern traits are not part of trade names.
The fact that this thread is (so far) 15 pages long is kinda ridiculous. Many of the posts in here are completely off-topic. I think most people interested in this thread have come to the conclusion that some will use new (and old) trade names, while others will not. All is good and I'm sure everyone can be mature about it going forward. You know I'm a fan of what you produce each year, so you can call it whatever you want if you keep up the good work, lol!

Popular threads that last more than a day here usually go all crazy-train for awhile before getting back to the original topic, and then they get lost in the shuffle. I rather enjoy the off topic comments and watching where they go, it's part of what I like about this site. Thanks for sharing.

You enjoy the totally wasteful off topic BS lol?

15 pages of it seem to agree.

Bring it on.
It most certainly entertains me on the night shift.
There's that, too.

Actually I do, too. Usually.
I'm really glad this isn't one of those forums where off-topic add-ons get moved or worse, deleted, and people reprimanded. Either the topic has run its course and something else came up, or the original topic will come back around, if there is interest.
And I didn't find it wasteful. Got to see some different Bps and a TON of AFTs that I didn't know existed, plus a pretty nice website design. Just 'cause you don't _like_ a kind of herp doesn't mean it's wasteful learning about it.
Like this: I didn't even know there was such a thing till yesterday...

Call the snakes whatever you want. Either Susan or Nanci came up with trundlefart for the motley/stripe animals. I think it was done just to shut me up. But I use the crap out of it, and I've seen it used by a couple other people. :grin01: Probably not seriously though.
And for the OT stuff, BPs and AFTs are brown and, for the most part, boring. David, you've made it pretty clear that it's all about the money for you, which is why, IMO, you like the BPs so much. If it were reversed and corns sold for 25K while BPs stayed in the 20-1000$ range, there is no doubt in my mind you would be a corn person. It's a little saddening to me.

As one of the perpetrators of the off topic bs, well sometimes things just tend to wander down a different path. I actually like the sound of Amaretto, even though the color is a bit off it does have a nice ring to it. After awhile I found the new topic of arguing with David over his brown critters more interesting than the original topic. At the end of the day, names are names and brown is brown.
I tend to like most trade names and use them, and I am glad that the brown critters have some type of morphs to keep things a little more interesting for all the brown critter people out there. It was nice to look at the nicely done website, and allllll those shades of brown.
I like this thread and like Nanci I am so glad that when things wander down a different path, things are not deleted or people punished. Just another reason I love love love this place!
edited to add, I also like the name trundlefart. Makes me giggle.

Everything you've stated is wrong and frankly insulting. If I'm all about the money, why am I breeding reptiles? You know it's not the most lucrative business in the world? I simply like the insane amount of paint jobs on Ball Pythons. With Fat-Tails it's the new morph potential.

It was Charles Pritzel (aka Serpwidgets), the author of the Corn Snake Morph Guide, that originally came up with the name.
And sorry Dave, it went a bit further back than that, to this thread: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11302&highlight=trundlefart, which was another discussion over naming, but about whether to continue the use of "bloodred". Interesting read and you'll hear the same arguments that you heard in this thread.

Thanks Susan. Glad you set me str8 where others could not. Or cared not to. Or whatever that is. From the household of Connie & Chuck. If you cross an Amaretto with a Bloodred, what do you get?
