there are no distinct "morphs" in veilds. Veilds all have a basic color, and pattern. They are green, brown, orange, blue, yellow white, and black. The yellow forms vertical bands, the blue usually spots, everything else is variable. Some veilds have a blusih background color, some have green. Some have a lot of brown, and look maroon. SOme, have more orange on them than others, so they're called sunburst.
It's not like in panthers, where distinct populations have a definative difference in coloration.
In Jackson's, people often call some of them "red phase". Well, they are simply mutations, leading to different colorations. Such variation is actually very interesting, as nearly ALL jacksonii are decended from a dozen or so individuals released in HAwaii a while back...
