    Re: morphs

    Well you really don't "make" morphs. They just sort of "pop" up and then you "purify" them so that they breed true or as true as possible. Some are naturally occuring like flame and melanistic easterns (T.s.sirtalis), so it's just a matter of breeding two individuals of the same morph together. Others like albinos or such, usually just pop up from breedings or such and then you will usually breed the offspring with the morph, back to the parents to try and get a "pure" strain of the morph. Felzer has a pretty good explanation of this on his web page.

    Maybe this can help a bit:

    It's still not finished, but I don't have the time to finish it at the moment... It's a bit of information about genetics.
