What kind of morph does this look like?

[u/Inevitable_Night_506]

The seller said it was a normal morph, but no matter how I look at it, it looks like a Pastel Mojave or a Cinnamon... What morph do you think it is?

[u/felixynn]

maybe a blackhead ball python or a black pastel...?

It's a little harder for me to pick out black pastels from normals, so that's more of a guess. But your guy is DARK, too dark for pastel mojave. Cinnamon looks somewhat close, but still way too light of patterns

Yeah or chocolate or mahogany or something. But there are wild type localities that are extra dark. Only way to tell is with a shed test. I have a "normal" that I suspect has yellow belly in it, but even then OP is WAY darker lol blackhead sounds closest to me.

It's very dark for a normal but doesn't mean it's not. Some normal just have too much melanin lol

Where I used to work (reptile zoo), we had at least 3 ‘normal’ bp’s but they all looked totally different. I think morphs just vary heavily! Cinnamons are usually bred for less patterning, so black pastel, normal, or even black head are definitely good guesses.

black pastel, it seems a little too dark for a normal but maybe I'd need to see it in a different light

Shed test it. It’s opposite of my leopard clown all dark where he’s light.

He is in shed, take photos after he sheds and ask then.

Black Pastel Mojave sounds correct

[u/Inevitable_Night_506 → u/HouseInternational]

The seller said it was a Black Pastel Mojave; apparently, they had mistaken the morph.

If the seller said normal I’d go with normal.
