so when i first got into the snake game i had the impression that “morphs” were exclusively specimens that had been line bred to be that way and that it was all a bunch of Frankenstein stuff - this has been beginning to change for me given my research given that i found out that a lot of “morphs” that i thought were 100% artificial human creations were actually wild occurring morphs like for example in Burmese pythons the Granite, Albino, Labyrinth, Hypo, Patternless, etc were all founded by wild caught specimens from countries like Thailand and elsewhere by keepers like Bob Clark, Michael Cole, Tom Weidner, etc

relatedly i know that “Patternless” is a wild occurring morph in scrub pythons and African rock pythons too - so i guess to what extent is this true among snake species? and, further, is “accentuating nature” i.e. producing natural rarities the same as “preserving nature” i.e. preserving the natural/normal beauty of nature?
