    Snakes that are het for recessive genes (like albino/piebald/clown/hypo) look the same as normals. Some have "markers" that can help to ID them but nothing concrete.

    There are a few good resources on morphs.

    Wow thanks for all the help guys, one of the best parts of a new animal is learning all about them. Thanks for all the help so far, and wow there are some awesome looking morphs out there.

    Looks like a regular "Normal" BP. The problem is now that you got one, you will find the "need" to get more. It is an addiction. Good luck with your new BP!

    Wow if I would actually read instead of jumping in (kinda excited to be exploring a new species of animal) i would see that i was supposed to post about 4 pictures, and to clear them up a bit. I'm pretty sure you guys are right on her being a normal or classic, but i'll do this right and get some better pics here in a bit.

    OK here's the new pics, like the forum requested.
    Talked to the guy who originally bred the snake and he said he was going for yellow belly, but the belly is white, there's no tint, but looks like a normal, so gonna name her Norma gene, unless someone sees something i don't (now that i got some better pictures up for everyone)

    Yea, we were duped into a heat rock at the pet store the supposed snake expert said it was good for there digestion, but as soon as i read this care sheet a few days ago i attempted to return the heat rock, they didn't want it back, but i did buy a under tank heater. I have plenty of aspen bedding from our bitty incubators. And yes it's an aquarium, but i've built a custom cover to trap the heat, and it's just temporary until i get around to building an acrylic tank (we use acrylic for egg boxes). Also i hooked up one of our digital thermostats to the under tank heater.
