There is a reason why they call morphs "mutations". For what I understand, DNA for pattern/color mutates when bred creating a new looking snake. This new mutated DNA gets passed on to offspring and has become a new proven morph or mutation. From what I know, not all morphs came from Africa, though many have.
Most new mutations come from Africa, wild caught or captive hatched from collected eggs. On a rare occasion they can pop up randomly from captive breeding.
ok... I understand that a pintrsipe x lesser have this new pinstripe lesser, right? But from where we have the pinstripe and lesser...
Both were found in Africa.
Brian Barczyk of BHB Reptiles paid to have it imported to the US, and proved it to be genetic. That's how it originated.
Similar story with the Lessers. Field collectors that have contact with big breeders in the US send updates to the breeders, who then decide if they want to pay a large amount of money to import it to the country.
Sometimes these new morphs are already proven, and don't need to be proven here in the US. Such as the Bongo ball python.
