    this whole idea of calling it whatever he wants doesn't fly. Why should it? Theres names for these morphs for a reason. Just like everything else in life that's how you know what your getting. And that "achromatic" has color. Black is a color...so its a little confusing and in the garter hobby people seem to be confused as hell cuz if its blue it must be axanthic and if its black and grey then it must be anery. That's not reality

    B.S. there are tons of morphs with non sense nomenclature like soul sucker ball pythons. At least Achromatic gives one a good sense of what the animal looks like. Achromatic is often used to describe black, whites, and greys. Terms like anerytheristic and anxanthic only describe what pigment the snake is missing. Really you could call any green snake anerytheristic but what good does that do? Calm down, I think it is a great name.

    Calm down? Im calm and im aware of all the names people come up with but that's not what im talking about. The black and white looks to be axanthic and that's what it should be called. It looks like the name achromatic is gonna stick, another garter morph wrongly labeled, good job guys. Keep up the good work

    Zebra Radix....lol I like it. If I get one of these I'm totally going to name her after some bombshell actress for the B/W days of film. So any idea of price tag?
