Morph - ID Possible?
Hi,
I bought 2 Ball Pythons a month ago but neither of them had an 100% morph ID and the store didn’t knew it either.
Is it possible to ID them or do I really need to breed them in order to know for sure (I am already breeding them either way).
The small one is a Phantom/Mojave Pinstripe, not knowing if a Phantom or a Mojave.
The big one is a Emperor Pinstripe, not knowing which morphs are creating the Emperor.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Hugo

Phantom and Mojave combined with Pin are difficult to call... Tentatively I would call yours a Mojave Pin but lighting is not great and that can make a difference. Honestly, I would want to have a hands on to be able to most reliably call it.
Emperor is a Lesser Pastel Pin

*I meant just a Lesser Pinstripe (the info a breeder gave me about the óptimos)

Butter and Lesser are just different lines of the same morph (just like Bananan and Coral Glow). In a case where you 100% know the lineage then it is probably best to maintain that name but in a case like yours where the lineage is unknown you can call it which ever you want - Butter Pastel Pin or Lesser Pastel Pin. In the grand scheme of things it does not matter either way

Still tricky given how close Phantom and Mojave are. I am inclined to stand by Mojave Pin. If it really matters to you then the best thing to do would be to raise it up and breed to a known Mojave. If you get a BluEL then you will know it is a Mojave and if you get a Purple Passion then it is a Phantom

Oh ok, I didn’t knew that about the butter/lesser. Thanks for all that info!
Yes, I’ll be breeding them, going to start next season. I wasn’t aware at the time about the meaning of the “/“ and the guy from the expo told me it had Mojave AND Phatom so I bought it because I was looking for a female Mojave. Just afterward a breeder friend of mine explained that it was one OR the other, not both.
Just hope you are wright, I was looking to produce a BEL for a first Goal
Thanks again for your feedback!

Glad to be of help.
And if I am wrong and your animal does turn out to be a Phantom take heart that the PassionPin is still a pretty cool looking animal:
