Re: Herp Lingo :)
I glanced through all pages in this thread and did not see any of these. If they have been previously posted blame it on my laziness for reposting them...
MBK - Mexican Black King (L. g. nigrita)
MSP - Milk Snake Phase (thayeri)
DOR - Dead On Road
PH - Possible Het
DH - Definite or Double Het (depending on context)
FT - Frozen Thawed
FK - Freshly Killed
Hypo-e - Hypoerythristic (Reduced red pigment)
Phenotype - Visual expression
Homozygous - Expressing a genetic trait
Multi het - Carrying multiple recessive traits
And a morph can be a naturally occurring phenotype. Especially with polymorphic species or subspecies. For example, California Kings have banded and striped morphs.
Grayband and Thayeri have many morphs that are not pigment mutations.
