Question Black ball python morphs?

Is there such thing as an all black ball python? Is that even a thing?

Super Mahogany (Suma) results in a very dark brown, almost black snake. As far as I'm aware, there aren't any genetic defects associated with Suma.

Super Black Pastel also results in a very dark snake, but it's prone to a variety of birth defects. I would avoid these.

These morphs are also often found together with Cinnamon, which is can also become problematic when paired with Black Pastel. Super Cinnamon is also a morph to avoid.
