I know of amel, hypo, and axanthic. I've also seen a few striped (sorta striped) but don't think they were reccesive.

what about melanistic? I know a few herpers firmly believe MBKs are nothing but a melanistic population of splendida and others say "no way". Lets assume thats true, if a melanistic desert king popped up in say south TX would it be a MBK or would it be a melanistic desert king and how would you tell the difference?

also, when morphs are found, how do you prove it was a wild produced animal and not a pet that got loose/ was released? besides the obvious "if it's found in your backyard, it's probably an escaped pet and if it's found in the middle of nowhere it's probably a legit wild snake"
