Best i could do, worth breeding? Also was told its a male.
What age would you guess also?

Spider, imo.
There's no way to guess age. If he was chronically underfed, and/or kept without appropriate heat, he could be even older.

There is no way to guess an age. They all grow at different rates.
As far as breeding, are you familiar with the neurological problems this animal has? Known as a wobble.
Paired to another dom/co-dom to get a 2 gene animal, yes IF you understand what you could get.

Re: ***HELP*** What morph is this?
Thanks guys for your help.
I was unaware of wobble/spinning but i just looked into it and honestly i dont see an issue.
If you guys dont mind could you give me a few pointers?
Like
°should I feed it more than once a week? (Medium rats)
°is it easy to change its temperment? Or is it just striking due to stress
°how often do i mist?
°is it safe to live feed a mouse

You'll need to do some research, and here's a good link.. Read it thoroughly and make changes to your enclosure and get proper equipment as needed.

Proper hides, where they can hide their whole body with just one small opening where they can poke their head through.
http://www.reptilebasics.com/hide-boxes
Right now your glass tank may be too open, not enough hides and security/cover, a possible reason why he's stressed and striking.
What he eats depends on his size- how much does he weigh? Once a week normally would be fine.
Get an Acurite hygrometer to monitor humidity, and it will tell you how often you need to mist. If you're using a heat lamp, it drains humidity out of the air. Are you using a heat pad?

I just spent 100$ on decor. Jm using a heat lamp, 100w bulb. Aspen substrate. I have a half log (came with him im aware they no not lile this as much)
Fake plant over top of his cave i just got him.
Thick sticks i got from climbing a tree and picking good ones. Soaked in hotwater then baked them at 235
He has rocks to obsorb heat, water dish obviously and a 30$ tall fake log

Re: ***HELP*** What morph is this?

You don't need to feed adult male twice a week and you don't feed a male medium rats either, you don't need to feed anything larger than 75 grams rats once every 7 to 10 days. Feed too much and your BP will be more likely to fast or skip meals.
°is it easy to change its temperment? Or is it just striking due to stress
Yes by providing optimum husbandry and leaving the animal alone to adjust.
There is no one answer for that, I never mist some people do, humidity should be around 50% however the substrate should nevert be damped.
°is it safe to live feed a mouse
Feeding live can be done safely if you know how to (I have feed well over 20000 live preys without incidents}.
Now if your BP take rats (since you mentioned rats) I do not recommend to offer mice unless you are ready and willing to feed mice from that point on and take the risk that your BP does not switch back.

Unfortunately, besides the money you spent on decor that's second priority, you sound like you need to thoroughly read that caresheet and do some serious research on a ball python's needs... You asked if he's striking due to stress, yes it is probably due to stress..
Ball pythons don't need "rocks to absorb heat", that's more of a lizard thing. In fact, if the rock gets too hot, it can burn them.
