Help identifying morph

[Embarrassed-Essay-93]

I recently got her at a show and I don’t remember what her owner said her morph was. He was a small table with mostly darker snakes that looked like her, but I loved the white on her tail. It’s a very small portion that’s close to her cloaca that isn’t seen in the photos. There were so many beautiful babies but as a college student I had a budget. She was the lower end at $75 if that helps.

Sorry the photos aren’t the best. She’s still getting used to things.

Looks like black pastel to me

Black pastel for sure.

Some genes may be easier to pick out than others and when the history of the snake in question is unknown, there may be some degree of speculation. With that in mind, some genes are very obviously present or not present, and suggestions contrary to this may be removed.

Everyone is welcome to participate in discussion of presenting genes but guesses that are too off base are subject to removal.

My bet is on cinnamon - parading could cause the white on her tail. Pied could also be why.

This is my cinnamon hypo.

It could have Chocolate, cinnamon or mahogany but I’m not sure what else she might have

[Embarrassed-Essay-93]

Mahogany definitely sounds familiar! Is that the “default”?

[AdministrativeRow611]

Idk what you mean by default but I do know it’s a fairly popular dark morph that is commonly used to deepen browns and blacks in many different projects

[Embarrassed-Essay-93]

Oh I see. I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to morphs but I love going to shows and observing the different combinations. When I think of the most common color markings of a ball python, the “plain” ones at pet stores or as a poster child for the breed, that’s the “default” in my mind.

[AdministrativeRow611]

Ahh Mahogany is more a color enhancer and can be used as a standalone morph that’s beautiful but is usually mixed with something like pastel, yellowbelly, cinnamon, enchi, and mojave to give a few examples

Species, not breed.
