Usually morphs are just crosses between other rainbow boas, but I don't see the point. It's hard to improve on perfection

if you look on www.as-exotics.com they recently bred a leopard phase brb which has quite subtle pattern differences but is still very nice :)

you can get albino brb's - re the leopard phase - not really sure on that myself as a seperate phase. There are lots of different names given to some brb's such as high orange, silhoutte etc but to me it is more selective breeding than a seperate morph

As Kazerella noted, it's hard to improve on perfection. Normal "plain" Brazilians are some of the most attractive snakes in the industry.

That said, there are a few out there. Please keep in mind when reading the below notes that the Brazilian market is *very* young with regard to traditional morphs (hypos, sunglows, etc.). A lot of that gap has been been filled with variants in color and pattern -- as Andybe correctly observed, more selective breeding than a separate morph.

Color:
--Standard brownish orange/red
--High red
--High orange
--Yellow (theorized, not yet proven out)

Pattern (sides):
--Standard crescent
--Bullseye (enlarged crescent completely envelopes the black)
--Full spot (all color, little to no black)
--No spot (all black)
--A few random odds and ends, like side speckles
Keep in mind most if not all of the side "morphs" have not been nailed down, and most of what you see for sale are ones that come close to the planned ideal.

Pattern (back):
--Standard dorsal circles
--Linked circles
--Single stripe
--I think there is even a double stripe someone is working on
Same caution as on side patterns.

Traditional morphs:
--Hypo: fairly well established, dominant line is Lockwood/EBV
--Anery: newer, dominant lines are Sharp and Seib
--Ghost: newest, just produced for the first time in August 2010

Odds & Ends
--Calico: hoped for, but not yet proven genetically

I'm sure I missed a few, this was off the top of my head, but I hope it helps.

Maybe. Brazilians have so much variation in color and pattern it can be hard to tell, particularly with photos, and most of the "true" morphs are recessive, meaning a snake would have to be homo for the trait (two copies of the gene, for those unfamiliar with genetics) in order to show it at all. As for color and pattern variants ("fake" morphs lol?), every snake has something different and unique.
