Identifying morphs
I was curious if there's a site or book that could tell me how to identify morphs. Example: what identifying marks are on a Mojave

The ultimate ball python morph maker guide by Kevin McCurley is decent, it'll retails for around $100.
Then there is worlofballpythons.com, they have pictures of most morphs, and quite a few morph combos.
But to the best of my knowledge there is no extensive guide on morph identification, you will have to look at photos, read what people are saying from multiple sources, and put all the information together before making a logical guess.
In the case of single, double, and even triple mutations it's quite easy, but once there are so many genes stacked together, it can be difficult to be 100% sure.

http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/? Now keep in mind that sometimes with subtle morph going by a picture does not always work, some combos with multiple genes also look similar however you will, have no issue identifying a Mojave by comparing your snake to the pictured found there and if in doubt post a picture of your snake here (natural light and full, body)

Re: Identifying morphs
Hi,
The hobby is expanding the genetic frontier so fast it's hard to reccomend anything apart from websites.
I have the NERD complete ball python, the VPI ball pythons the history, natural history, care and breeding and the john berry book designer morphs volume one.
I love each book but recently they are more primers in the world of morph wisardry.
