Well, it certainly depends on the trait involved, as some are recessive, and some are merely variants. But the one you mentioned where the red is replaced by some black is basically a variation too. When the black tends to obscure most(or all) the red, that is a morph called an "Oreo", and if their white is an apricot color variation, and the black obscures the red, it would be a "Halloween" morph.
These different morphs mentioned aren't real predictable though, but when the two parents display the same trait, it will certainly greatly increase the odds of it being passed on to the offspring.
If you do a google "image search", you should be able to find some that display these characteristics. Many times it will display a totally different snake on the pic, but click on some of these anyway, as many times there are additional pics of what you want to see inside the site after it is opened. I see that alot.
