im inyerested in getting into breeding over the next couple of years but was just wondering where morphs come from how are they created ?

Wild... Say some one imports some royals and one has a nice pattern (lets say its a male) then you need to breed it and see if the babies look like the male if none of the babies look like the male then you need to breed one of the babies back to the male and if any of the babies look like the male then you have proven it out to be a recessive gene.

Also you can create new morphs by crossing different morphs.

Double Recessive - http://www.newenglandreptile.com/genetics_double_recessive.html
Double Recessive Gene Combinations - http://www.newenglandreptile.com/genetics_double_recessive.html

Hope this helps.
