I wouldn't believe that there's any risk of not being able to outcross the animals to scaled and breeding them like any other recessive or dominant morph.

IE, the newest identified recessive morph of ball pythons, the tri-stripe, isn't contained to just a small pool of tri-stripes. The Sutherlands will be able to create hets by breeding to different normal girls and diversifying its bloodline.
I agree, this is what needs to occur in order to have a healthy future morphs. If the out-breeding does not occur, there may be some traits that become associated with this morph, as of any morph I'm assuming. If scaleless snakes come on the market too quickly, I would believe that this out-breeding might become a smaller and smaller concern for breeders who are smaller and smaller in size.
