    How do you start a morph from scratch?

    Say for instance you wanna morph a snake that has never been morph before.

    How do you start?

    Also, are there any popular snakes that you can think of that have not been morphed?

    You don't "morph a snake".....wild animals with genetic color and/or pattern variations are found in the wild and brought into captive breeding facilities.

    Then someone has to prove out these new snakes in order to find out if its genetic or just a flaw.

    Base morph are discovered, not created. Some traits can be line bred, but you can't make a new BP morph by selective breeding.
    What are these mojavas I keep hearing so much about?

    I think you may be confused. You can't make a "morph". It is just a random occurance.

    You can make designer morphs but no unless its an unknown het for a recessive and thats like a 1:100 billion chance

    Get lucky and find it in a shipment, or go out to Africa and brave the territories!
