Do I need to make things any clearer.
Morphs, especially with Boa Constrictors where this began, can only be produced through inbreeding of some degree and this is by no means hybridizing.

For instance lets look at the Sharp albino project, anyone who has produced them or any morph includeing them has inbred somewhere. There was only one where they all originated from.

The only time morphs can be produced with no degree of inbreeding if through co-dominant and naturally dominant traits. But if anyone wanted to produce supers from co-dom they would have to inbreed as well, unless the same trait occured simultaniously and effected not only the phenotype the same way but the genotype mutation was the same to make them compatible, more could not be produced with out inbreeding.
