If balls had more predators there would not be as many morphs. The bright colored snakes would stick out and be eaten.... but this is not the case. So due to large numbers of imports and many morphs found in the wild there is a higher chance for morphs to be discovered.

How do you know this? Can you direct us to a link where a study has been done about this phenomenon?

I think the more likely reason is the fact that they are nocturnal and stay so very well hidden in termite mounds and rodent burrows rather than your theory.
