You are both correct and incorrect. How can I explain this.... hmmm. Let say for example, the first litter of het. albinos were born in the early 90s, then you have a salmon which were established in the mid 90s. While you have some inbred of each line, the albinos and salmons get introduced and you have hets. and eventually sunglows. So now you have a little new blood in your morphs. Now consider the fact that you bring in a jungle from Sweden and mix that with your sunglows, salmons and albinos. Then you start breeding those morphs to arabesque and motleys. Each of those boas comes from a different breeder or line. Currently we have had a salmon x blood mix. How in bred is that, one or 2 generations? Not to mention that many breeders will on occasion find morphs in imports and also breed into normals. You don't get these options with a specific population of boas. So are morphs inbred? Yes, many are, but you can easily thin out that line with another morph or import. How often is this option available with a specific locality?
