Well i can help with some of the morphs in general:

Het: Heterozygous: refers to an animal that carries a gene for a recessive trait morph (ie: albino, anery)

Hypo: Hypomelanistic: refers to a co-dominate trait which can be visually pasted from the parent to the offspring regardless of the second parents genetics.

As for books... other than the boa constrictor manual, which every boa owner should have i really don’t think there are any that pertain to the morph market only. The best think to do is read read read all the forums and just ask questions until you understand... Genetics get trick up in the double hets, and co-dominate train plus recessive trait (ie: sunglows, snows, ghosts)

Good luck!
Sincerely,
Rose Hipskind
