Bennett,



Usually I agree with almost everything you post, but I have to disagree on your definition for color morphs. When people ask what type of morph is my dragon, they're asking what phenotype it is(what it looks like, color wise in this case). What you defined is the dragon's genotype (its genetics, could be the same as phenotype, but could be different). Anyway, I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything, but this difference in definitions is what causes lots of problems with dragon owner satisfaction(people claiming they were sold a dragon as one morph and it then not displaying those same colors). As a general rule, dragon owners don't care what genotype a dragon is, they care about the phenotype. The only reason they should really care about the genotype is if they plan on breeding.
