No, it's not all chance with normals. It's just that very few people have selectively bred them to consistently show certain traits. So, a light female could have dark siblings--and her offspring might be both light and dark, because she carries some genes for darker animals too.
Take NERD's high yellow normal line--there's an example of selectively bred normals. They're not morphs--they've just been bred over time to be more yellow. Any of us can do this, it just takes a while to get consistent results.
In the long run, it will be well worth it. I personally see it as the future in ball pythons. We'll probably run out of new morphs, eventually, or they'll become very rare. At that point, the people who started selective breeding NOW will be the ones who have animals no one else can produce unless they buy them from the breeder who designed the line.
