what kind of BP is this? I am so confused...

The windows have granite-type speckling in them--in granites, the 'alien head' markings are replaced by that speckling. Since he has plenty of the speckling, he's not really reduced/banded. Check the 'Beginner's Guide to the Morphs' sticky post.
He is a granite. Whether he's a genetic granite is another story. Only proving him out will reveal that for sure.

I never have fed out of the enclosures. Mine all get fed in the tubs and I have no issues with feeding responses. I dont think that it will hurt the snakes on a warm floor, but to me it is just more un-needed work to do when feeding. I would check the floor with a temp gun tho. Concrete has a way of pulling the cold out of the ground, no matter what climate you are in. When I lived in Hawaii my floors were what I would have considered too cold for a reptile, but if you are good then you are good.

I have also lived in Hawaii and now I live in central FL. Just for facts Florida is much much hotter then Hawaii is so I would not freak out at all If I did the same thing. If it was in a colder place maybe but it's Fl we have all these exotic animals living here and they are doing just fine eating outside. Quit making all this a huge issue because it really is not. And following up on twistedtails I couldn't agree any more.Lay off the the guy, people on here seem just to want to tell him what's right and what's wrong. NO ONE is perfect he has found a way to have his reptiles and he seems to be doing just fine. And I just checked the weather in Hawaii and it is 74 degrees.and right now here in FL it is 10:12 A.M and it is already 95 degrees.There is a huge difference there. So I just wanted to put my input in. Oh and if I had an aggressive snake and I wanted to take belly shots of it I would do the same thing. And for people thinking that he is breaking the neck or hurting it. If you don't know aggressive snakes whenever you hold them they try and pull away so instead of just jumping to conclusions why don't people examine what this guy wrote and then maybe think. (Hey he has an aggressive snake that wants to chew the hell out of him and he needs to show people what it's belly looks like.) What would you do in his position? I know a lot of people would probably do the same thing. It is only temporarily restraining the snake to get pictures. If anything like another person said on here it would probably stress the snake even more to have it bite you and it does not teach it never to bite again that's for sure. And in another picture he has the snake just hanging out so apparently he does not do that to the snake every time he takes pictures of it or whatever. So for all those that think it is animal cruelty just keep your comments to yourselves cause it is definitely not animal abuse and he seems to be feeding them well. Anyways that is my input in this.

I wasn't the one making the big deal out of it so do not quote my post. I have not said a single word negative to or about him yet so don't try to make me out to look like the bad guy.

I appreciate your comment.
Yes and not all my snakes i feed this way. Only my large ones that tend to be a bit more of a agressive feeder. I have snakes that dont even strike at the food... just slither up and gentley bite it. but then i have my crazy feeders who would like to take your face off (because of their feeding responses).. like my 7 foot dumerils or those few ball pythons, so yes i feed out side the cage.

Thank you for your comment ^_^

If your snakes are still doing that, then maybe feeding outside the cage isn't working - even for you. Why would that help anyway? To make them associate handling with being fed? It seems rather counter intuitive. I have over 30 snakes (balls, bloods and a very naughty dumerils adoptee) and feed in cages. It has never caused a problem and is less stressful on the snake than getting pulled out and fed out in the open.
