    I tend to not agree with you, Reed.
    The black form of T. sirtalis sirtalis is in my opinion not a morph, but a normal form that occurs in some regions.
    In my eyes a morph is something that is created by man.

    To me, morph is the same as form.

    Whether it's a commonly occurring form in nature, or one produced through selective breeding, it's still a morph in my opinion.

    Re: Some pics (also some Mexican species)

    Indeed. Well, I could disagree with this, because most albino gartersnakes (morphs, in my opinion) are also found in the wild. But usually these are single animals. They just are 'used' by man to create more. The black sirtalis forms an entire population and is therefore (my opinion again...) natural and not a morph

    @ Stefan: Defenitly agree on that! Morph can be a bit of a 'hard' word. Many people think negative things when you mention 'morphs'....
