is this a morph

"Reduced pattern normal" -- which means, possible genetic reduced pattern. If she passes on the reduced pattern, then she's technically a morph, just not one that's officially recognized. I am not sure why, but genetic reduced patterns haven't gotten the 'morph stamp of approval'. Everyone seems to love them, though, so she would make a fine breeder.

I agree. I think they are having trouble being recognized since there are so many that are not genetic.

I love the bull head marking in the second pic

One thing about normal ball pythons, they are like snowflakes, no two are alike.

They are dark, light, and every shade in between. Gold, bronze, orange, blonde, brown, you name it.

Patterns can be really busy, really reduced like yours, or anything else you can think of.
