Many of the morphs may have clean bellies or various other tells to the belly markings. Yellowbellies are clear with checkering, het Peids supposedly have marks that are referred to as "train tracks" but even some of the experts don't all agree on this one.

If it's in a pet store, especially a chain store, it's likely a normal. Also you have to wonder how knowledgeable is the person at the store. Just remember that probably everyone on here started with a normal or had one at one time and all ball pythons are awesome. They are 100% het for awesome.
Thanks,im fine with her being a normal she is amazing and just ate a nice rat this morning hasn't missed a meal since i got her haha
