    I don't see the orange tones I expect in a black pastel sorry.

    That's what I was thinking... And definitely doesn't seem like a Cinnamon to me so I'm lost.

    No black pastel/or cinni. Most likely a normal but if it were to be anything else my guess would be mystic.

    I have a normal and side by side, they're different. The belly is solid white also... And the mystics I find online seem to be yellowish and he doesn't have any yellow or anything. Pictures make him a little brighter but he's black/dark brown and lighter brown on the sides...

    I bought it at PetSmart because I loved the design and wanted a new one. They didn't have any info but I still loved it's look. Just trying to figure out the closest possibility because I'm still doing a bunch of learning on the morphs and I'm not too good at figuring it out. Lol.

    Black Pastel or something else????
    I'm very new to morphs but is it green pastel?

    As a note, my mahogany's markings are brown in real life but in pictures I almost always have to fix the colors to make it true to life because her colors come out greenish like these. It's a weird effect that happens in basically any lighting. So I'm thinking this might be happening to some extent with yours, but correct me if your BP really is that green in person.

    Edit: that picture of the BP on the scale I believe is a mojave.

    To me it looks like het Russo or perhaps mystic. As others have said, definitely not Black Pastel. Nice grab from a big box pet store. Makes me a little sad for the industry though, as they don't even know or care what they are selling.

    Yeah, I'm betting on the Mystic idea. Seems to be the closest match. I noticed Mystic and Phantom are about the same morph but produce different potions so I wonder if it could be a Phantom, also. But I'm gonna go with Mystic, at least for now... And yeah, it's kind of stupid to be selling pets and know nothing about them. I went there for dog food and seen him as I was leaving so I had to buy him and get him into a good home. Lol. I'm looking into getting into breeding after I learn as much as possible about it all. Just difficult to learn all the morphs and combinations when there's so many. Lol.

    Best picture I have that shows the actual color instead of the yellowing that the flash caused on the other ones.

    Nice pickup! You said he came from Petsmart, but were they advertising him as a "normal " ball python or something else? :)

    They actually had him in a tank listed as "fancy" which is where they put everything except normals in. Lol. Which was odd... They had a pied for $450 but didn't have the extra money or I would've gotten him/her also. Hate seeing them in places like that...

    Re: Black Pastel or something else????
    If you got him from pet smart then he's most likely just a normal. He looks like normal too me, and having two normals side by side and them look "so different" doesn't really mean anything because not all normals are going to look exactly the same and can range in color and pattern, but still be normal. I would say he's a normal until proven other wise.

    Definitely not a normal. I've always had normals until my recent interest in expanding my mind to different morphs so I'm pretty familiar with the "normal" BP. From what everyone else said and some other things I've found online, I'm going to assume Mystic. Thank you for the response.
