"Maybe because the morphs are more expensive and also more easily saleable, and thus are less likely to be released? I dunno! I have no idea, myself, whether the majority of the founding escapees are from private owners or damaged import or breeding facilities. It would be interesting to do further DNA research to try to figure that out, though."
I'm sorry. You missed my point. People would be unknowingly releasing "normal" looking Burmese that were heterozygous for "Morph" traits and those animals would have a high probability of producing unnatural looking "Morphs", if they were indeed breeding in the wild. Does not appear to be the case.
That was the point I was trying to make.
