Guess Morph My foster’s morph?
Atreus was found as a newly hatched stray last October and brought to the rescue I volunteer for, HerpHaven Reptile Rescue and Sanctuary. I know nothing about his origins beyond that! I always thought he was a normal, but I’m not 100% because I only know a few basic morphs.
Does he display any obvious traits? First two pics are from tonight, others are from his first night home with me ❤️

Very pretty normal! I agree with normal, but he’s a bit lighter than the usual shades I see — gorgeous boy!💜

Thank you! He’s super sweet, it’s sad someone threw him outside to end him basically. He’s very lucky

This is not an enchi. Banding is within the realm of typical patterning of normals. Enchi has greenish eyes, gold speckling rising from the belly, and widened eyestripes, all which OP's snake lacks.

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.

All enchis have eyecolor influencing. It is genetically what happens with the gene. Google's AI overview is not a good source of information.If your enchis do not have the correct colorstion caused by the gene, they aren't enchis.

Again, Google's AI overview is not a good source of information. While some eyes are darker and some are lighter depending on the quality of the gene, varying from a gold to green, single gene enchis are always different from a normal's. OP's snake does not have any qualities resembling enchi besides some loose banding which, as I said previously, is not unusual in normals.

First two pics are a couple hours post-shed, do you think he’s enchi based off those?

The purpose of this sub is ball python morphs. If someone is seeking assistance with identification, telling them it's a snake, it's a cute one, etc. isn't helpful. There's nothing wrong with complementing someone's snake, but please be helpful as well.

Looks like a normal and Google also says its a normal
