I really want to know what kind of morph he is

Looks to be a normal. And what do you mean by “htr” axanthic? I don’t believe that is a thing but I could be mistaken

What was he sold to you as? Also HRA is the usual abbreviation you’ll see for that gene. Just to avoid confusion

Welcome to the forum! That’s a pretty snake! If you have a chance, could you post more photos, preferably in natural daylight, with sides, belly and head so we can have a better look for identification? Congratulations!

There is too much dorsal pattern for me to think HRA. Looks to be a normal with merged saddles.

One thing i noticed is that he has a lot of key holes in his pattern

The chances of this snake being HRA from Petco is very small.
Definitely post better photos in case someone sees something I’m not. But I’m just seeing a normal with a busy pattern from this photo. His color is a little interesting but again… Need better lighting and photos of the whole snake
Keyholes can be pretty common in normals. Here’s one of mine and a super pastel spider lesser

While it’s hard to tell from the picture, I’m thinking it’s a wild type/normal. As @armiyana said, keyholes don’t neccessarily mean it’s HRA (or a morph).
This is one of my double het g-stripe, clown girls from this year and she’s full of keyholes
But for easier identification, we’d need a full picture in good lighting, like this ^

Looks like a normal to me, only way you’ll know for sure is pair to another HRA when older to make the super form x

This animal is a chain pet store pickup with no known genetics or history, it shouldn’t be bred.
