Help! What's this morph.

Regardless of the morph, I'd rescue the poor thing and place it into immediate quarantine until you can be sure that it's mite and parasite free. I've taken in some rough looking rescues, but it's so worth the work they require.

Doesn't look that bad to me, looks like a regular pinstripe with a major stuck shed. I'd put it in a tub with some damp substrate and spray it down with water every few days until it sheds. I have a suborn shedder as well, looks pretty close to this one but much more yellow, she is a pastel spider (bumble bee) that is always a stubborn shedder, seems just particular to just one of my snakes, she is a mean one too LOL. Doesn't look that skinny to me, just needs a few meals in her belly to fatten her up. You could also try giving it a large soaking bowl and put the snake right in the water, it my stay there until it sheds.

Totally agree! Bad stuck shed doesn't mean that the animal is unhealthy by any means it points more to a humidity issue. The snake looks well fed, but a good mite treatment and QT is totally in order for sure. Its someones pet that they didn't really have the best top notch husbandry. I deal with at least a dozen stuck sheds every month. Its why I switched to Repti-chip.
