This is the only answer I've gotten that's been in the realm of what I was looking for.

As for the rest, you are all over complicating things. The only reason BP's don't come in different sizes and shapes like dogs and cats do is more to do with the infancy of being selectively bred by humans while dogs and cats and such have been bred for thousands of years to get all those different "breeds." And new breeds come up ever so often because a new mutant dog is born that is desirable and then get bred back to a parent to see if it's genetic. And that's the same thing we do but because of the infancy of selective bred reptiles most of the new mutations are coming straight from the wild.
