Basically yes.
You need to determine the genetic inheritance of each morph. Once known, then you can figure out how to get there. Easiest would be two dom morphs, could get duals in one gen. I believe the anery is a recessive so will take two gens.
If the pattern morph is dom, then it's as simple as breeding pattern to anery and keeping one or more pattern babies het for anery. Those bred together or to another anery will produce some babies with oth traits.
If the pattern morph is recessive, a lot more difficult. Pattern to anery for DH babies. Breeding the DH babies will produce mostly normal 66% pos hets, a few pattern 66% pos het anery, a few anery 66% pos het pattern and hipefully at least one pattern &$43 anery baby. (1/16 odds on the double recessive morph)
>>It depends on if the pattern is codominant or recessive. Patterns can be either. Maybe someone with more direct experience can tell you, but I think they're usually codominant. So you would breed your patterned snake to a anery to get het anery babies. You'd select the babies showing the pattern breed them together and out of the 25% that should be anery... hopefully, some will show that pattern. Correct me if I'm wrong.

And those are only the breeders
