I apologize if this is somewhere else on this board, but I tried to find it before posting and haven't yet. I have been trying to learn as much as I can about the different types of morphs I see occurring all over the BP world through this forum and otherwise, and I was just wondering if there was any sort of resource available to me that could help me get a better knowledge base for identifying at least the major/common morphs that show up here.
I understand that there are hundreds of morphs, each with variations, with new ones coming out constantly, so learning each and every one of them is impossible; I am just wanting a kick start to get at least a handful that most users here seem to be able to recognize straight away.
I also understand that each morph can have it's own variations and blurred lines with other morphs which can add to the difficulty in identifying them and that some morphs are extremely subtle and may not be identifiable through pictures without knowing genetics.
I am not looking for something that will make me an expert on identifying every morph out there, or that will allow me to recognize any of them through a single picture. That will take a lifetime of experience that I look forward to working toward. I'm simply looking for a step up in the right direction, just to get better acquainted with the more common and popular ones I see here so that I don't feel so ignorant at not being able to tell one from another simply because there is some marking that I just don't know to look for.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions; even if it's just a referral to another post which already answers this, that I missed seeing.
PS; just to save some time for some of you, I have found numerous sites including this one that just have pictures of different morphs and I have attempted to just put them side by side with normals and other similar morphs to teach myself. While these resources are helpful, I would still appreciate if something exists somewhere that also includes some pointers as to what to look for (i.e. 'when looking for the fire morph, look for this type of pattern around this area of the snake.")
