I've recently become really interested in acquiring a caramel corn snake in the future, as I think the addition of caramel to other morphs creates some really beautiful snakes. I had a look for pictures of diffused caramels on Ian's Viv morph page, but was surprised that they're just called diffused caramels!
So far every other single trait colour morph has a new name when it's combined with diffused doesn't it? There's:
Granite for anery
Fire for amel
Pewter for charcoal
Plasma for lavender
..and I can understand hypo/ultra/strawberry/lava etc not having a name. But it seems caramel (and also cinder) have been left out!
Should we choose a name for these, frankly, STUNNING snakes?

I'm so gonna try and get one. And my suggestion for the name is the obvious choice of toffee! :D |

Boooo, that thing is nowhere near as toffee looking as a diffused caramel!
Fudge is no good as it'll be confusing with fudgesicles, and it's not really dark enough for the name treacle.
Honey would have been a good one cos it's like a fluid dripping down the sides of the snake, but that's already taken. Think honey suits the diffused caramel look better though, and the sunkissed caramel could be beeswax.
So I'm thinking perhaps butterscotch would be good?
I don't think it'd ever be possible to label diffused cinders with one name as there's an amazing variation of colours. I think you can get ones with more grey and ones with more red, so I suppose you could nickname them ash and ember respectively? :) |

is there really a need for a name? naming rights usually goes to the first to produce a morph and then only sticks if it gains popular use.
The way things are going at the moment there seems to be 'morph' names cropping up for individual breeders lines and they are getting increasingly silly. |

| I had a weird feeling that opinion would crop up. It's not like I'm suggesting a nickname for some random looking specifically bred morph like how candycane works with amels. Every other base colour morph has a nickname and I think caramel should get one too. Why not? It's just shorthand at the end of the day isn't it. |

| its about a half half split, not all double trait corns have other names other than the genes. and as eeji has said some of the names being banded about just now are just mental, for example hypo amel (hybino) ludicrous lol. |

Hybino? That's ridiculous and just making up a name for the sake of it. No, I'm not on board with that :P
It was just because caramel is one of the major morphs; one of the base colours of corn snakes. "one of the biggies" if you will. And all the others (apart from cinder but that's still relatively new and random) have a morph name when they are diffused. Caramel is the odd one out.
Also, I think it will help phase out using the term bloodred to define diffused snakes. |

It may be a daft name, but I can see where this is coming from, hypo albino = hybino.
Ameretto is the one that really gets on my nerves (used to be Peach, think that is still on the corncalc). What would they call a diffused one of these? Blameretto? |
