What morph is my bp??
So, I've had my little girl for almost a year. She was sold to us as a normal, but I was talking to a local breeder today and she thinks I have a cinnamon. Any help with identifying would be greatly appreciated.

Re: What morph is my bp??
How can you tell?? What are the differences??

How can I tell? I have seen my fair share of them over the years, usually recognizing a mutation is really a matter of getting to see animal in person or in picture and being able to recognize element that tells them apart., people who are not expose to mutations on a regular basis may have a harder time to tell some mutation apart but they definitely differ they are not one of those subtle morphs.
Cinny have very specific keyhole pattern , the color and head are also what allows you to tell a normal from Cinny apart.
Here are some Cinny for reference.

One definitive thing with cinnamons is a very faded ocular stripe - yours doesn't have this and teh pattern looks wrong too, although if the photo is accurate then her coloration is in the direction of cinnamon. As already observed, she's a pretty normal. It does worry me that a 'breeder' can misidentify such a well know morph.

Here's a cinny

Might be harder to spot with an untrained eye, but notice how the coloration is darker and more reddish in tone. The alien heads on your normal do almost have that tear drop pattern going on though, so that's neat! It's a very pretty normal and you should be proud to have such a nice looking snake

I have never heard the ocular stripe fading being in the description of the cinnamon gene. Even looking on WOBP this trait is not immediately seen on all the examples.

I think with the exception of the most obvious morphs, it just comes down to experience when identifying some morphs. I pretty much suck at morph identification. I watch some of these videos on youtube where guys are looking at these washed out dingy snakes just rattling off morph after morph. lol Kevin from NERD. Ok this is Fader Orion Hidden Gene Woma Coral Glow Enchi Malum Inferno. lol It's a skill you pick up by looking at thousands of animals over the course of years and years.
