Morph

A morph is a colour, pattern or trait variant of a species produced by selective breeding — like an albino corn snake or a translucent leopard gecko — usually cosmetic and cared for the same as the normal form.

Care is generally identical across morphs, with a few welfare exceptions: some (like spider ball pythons and enigma leopard geckos) carry neurological issues, and light-pigment morphs (albino, silkback) are more light-sensitive. Choose morphs responsibly.
