>>OK cool. Now, can the words phenotype and morph be interchangeable? Like how Hubbs calls a light brown and yellow banded kingsnake a morph.

Yes......
In thayeri Bob Hansen and others (herpetologists) call certain looks morphs.....Tri colored Morph, White morph, orange morphs, yellow morph, etc.......

Visual traits don't all have to be inherited in the Mendelian fashion....Not all are as simple as dominant, co-dominant or recessive......Especially with variable kings like californiae and thayeri.....
