Hello, I just received this ball python and am looking for help with morph ID. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Do you have pairing info? Looks like a standard Pewter to me.

Really blushed out, so difficult to say what else is going on without parent info.

I do agree with. Christina that it looks Pewter (cinnamon pastel) or black Pewter (pastel Blk pastel) as the main possibility.
You can consider having them shed tested to know for sure.

I unfortunately don’t have any info on pairing & shed test was going to be my next step either way I was just curious on opinions before then. The original owner was sold it as a pastel desert ghost, I’m unfamiliar with morphs but that didn’t seem to be what I was seeing, but again almost no morph experience. Our more prominent local breeder described her as having more lightening up/“silver” than she was used to & said we should for sure shed test her I just like having some sort of an idea while waiting for that shed. Appreciate the responses, thank you!

Desert Ghost could explain the extra blushing. It can cause that same kinda of brightness without the extra distortion that super pastel can make.
When you do the shed testing you could run a bigger panel if you want, but I would consider pastel, cinnamon and desert ghost then to rule out the previous owner’s ID. Black pastel is still possible, but you can see if cinny comes up first.
