Dogs are of the same species. Their long domestication from the wolf is a part in their incredibly different phenotypes.
Mules are sterile and are completely domestic.
Humans did it to create an animal we could work with to benefit both us and them. Wolves, get food with us. Mules (or other pack animals), are taken care of in exchange as meat, milk, fire fuel (their poop) and a pack animal. It was done so that we could physiologically survive easier, giving us more time to develop socially, emotionally, and ultimately reach self-actualization. It's the first steps up Maslow's pyramid.
Morphs are phenotypes, paint jobs within the same species from genes already available from wild caught animals.
We keep snakes and reptiles out of pleasure because we have reached the top of the pyramid, not for survival. Snakes don't work with us for food or shelter, or for us as a means to lighten our daily work load.
Some may use it as income, but if you didn't have your simple needs taken care of, you would have no reason to keep and breed snakes. Don't try to compare hybridizing to the domestication of species.![]()
