" can make an argument that there should only be two recognized morphs"

Maybe I didn't read your post right but do you not consider amelanism a morph?

I would define "Morph" in this context as a visual difference between organisms. Even normal looking kenyans are a "morph" of Eryx colubrinus even though it is the most common form.

Morphs do not have to be proven (although it increases their value in the pet-trade).

Just my 2 cents,

-Chris
