>>AD, I think you are missing the point. No disrespect intended. Normal looking low end pet shop Burms can have any of the visual traits heterozygous. Quite often, breeders sell the normal looking ones as normal regardless of their potential genetics...regardless of how long the morph has been on the market... regardless of potential value.

I think you're probably right, for today's market.

But I'm not thinking of today's market.

The founding snakes in the glades weren't released today. They were released 10 or 20 or 30 years ago, when burms were less common than today and perhaps when the morphs didn't even exist yet.

Speaking of which, and jumping topics a bit -- that DNA paper referred to a mostly genetically homogeneous population, with a few distinct outliers. They speculated a bit about those outliers being representatives of isolated releases. As just wild speculation, I would suspect that those outliers would be the place to look for hets.
