Really the decision comes down to just one point and no other, and that's are they separate species or variations/subspecies of the same dragon? That's a science question really only birdz can answer. It may be like the striped dragons for instance, which are all the same with colour variations. So far we don't have any cases like this, where each "type" may have enough grounds to be separate in its own right.

Without birdz call, I'd say there is good evidence for splitting them. Not because of wiki or coding reasons, but because they have separate behaviour, separate life history, separate appearance, and separate names.
