    What morphs does my BP show?

    Hello everyone, i purchased my first and only BP 2 years ago. she is a female, normal (from what everyone i asked online said) possibly pastel or yellow belly. i took her to a couple shops who said she shows some signs of yellow belly and others said pastel. but when i asked online on facebook on a group specifically for ball pythons (no one there is an expert, they all deal with BP or have been for years so they have some experience IMO) everyone said she is 100% normal. im curious about this as i recently became interested in breeding (did not consider it when i first purchased her as i didnt expect to fall in love with her as i did).
    either way, she is still not ready for breeding, she is 961 grams as of two days ago and still has at least another 5-600 grams to add on but i dont want to purchase an adult male when the time comes, so i want to know more about my BP so i can purchase a young healthy male with the morph that i decide on (based on her genetics) and have him grow into adultery by the time she becomes ready hopefully.
    i apologize about the super long post, im just confused on what she might be from all i have heard.
    any and all help in identifying any possible morphs is appreciated. and thanks to anyone who has something to say in advance!
    here are some pictures i've taken of her

    I'm no expert either but she looks like a normal/wild type to me. Very pretty!

    100% not a pastel- pastels are yellow and black with green eyes. Where did you get her from?

    i got her from a petshop nearby, which evidently i came to regret. my next purchase will be through morphmarket.com. dont get me wrong there is nothing wrong with her, i only regret paying way too much for a normal when i could have paid about $100 max at morphmarket.com for a normal.

    Morphmarket is the way to go! I recommend researching the breeders on morphmarket too though once you find one that you're interested in. I personally love mystic potions, pastel desert ghosts, and bamboo combos! Happy hunting!

    Yess that’s exactly the place ill be purchasing my next BP from. Thabk you for the info and your opinion on what morphs, ill definately check those out and see what might be a good husbandry for her as she seems to be just normal, unless there’s any recessive genes i wont find out till breeding!

    Maybeee think about it some more about breeding her since she is likely a normal/possibly a subtle morph like vanilla. The ball python market is super saturated and you're not likely to make a profit after buying the necessary items like an incubator. You may breed her and end up with a bunch of normals and unfortunately those aren't very much in demand. Please let us know if you have any questions! Please know that I'm not trying to burst your bubble or anything- it just seems like a lot of new keepers try to jump into breeding very quickly and it's usually not the best idea.

    Looks like a wild type to me. I think pastels also tend to have white bellies
