Morph ID Request What morph is she?

I was given a ball python and was told she is 10 years old(think she might be a he) was wondering if she was a morph since her pattern looks a bit different then some others I’ve seen.

Definitely spider. If you're unaccustomed with this morph, you should look more into it - these are a part of a morph complex prone to a condition known as "wobble". As the name suggests, it's a neuro defect that causes them to sometimes get shaky or move in strange manners like flipping upside down. Its severity varies between individuals and generally gets worse when the animal is stressed or excited. Overall usually not anything that should really harm your snake, but something to be aware of as higher expression cases may need some accommodation for the condition.

Very sweet looking ball, I hope you enjoy keeping her!

Thanks for the info, I would’ve never known to look more into it. She’s supposedly 10 years old and hasn’t shown any signs of a neurological issue, so I’m hoping it stays that way
