I can't see any visual morphs right now from that photo. But he looks a LOT like my little boy Rocket, He's like a citrus sandfire tiger orange I believe? I'm not sure. But he could be like something similar to that.

Color descriptions really aren't a morph, perse. Morphs would be genetic mutations such as trans, hypo, leather, zero, etc. Colors are just traits, and breeders can describe the color of their dragons anyway they want, there is no set standard. So a red could be called red, or something such as sandfire or lavapit from hell... if you catch my drift.. LOL.

OH OK. I was confused about that. its not like snakes. So what happens if you say breed a red with a citrus? So the red/citrus and all other color descriptions are not based on a recessive or codom trait? So when you breed them what happens if you mix colors? Wow I am confused. So when you mix colors is it additive? Meaning if I breed red with a citrus would the resoluting babies be red and citrus? Besides dunner, zero, witblits, Leatherback, Hypo, what else is genetic and depends on recessive, or Codom?
Typically no, they tend to really only take on one of the parents colors. But there are exceptions in some lines.
Remember, they've just descriptions of colors.
If you breed a "sandfire" with a "citrus" sure you can say the dragon is a citrus sandfire, but if the dragon is just yellow, or just red, that doesnt really make much sense. It's only important terminology if you want to breed and you need to keep track of genetic lineage.
The dragon will still hold those traits, and that red dragon could end up producing yellow babies, but typically its accepted that morphs are the different mutations while color and patterns are more so just traits.
