This snake morph guide is just meant to explain some basics of morphs. I would caution anyone in buying a pet that takes a high level of care just because it's pretty, and frankly any breeder that continues to breed morphs with physiological and neurological defects should be put out of business. I did my best as I find this interesting and believe there's a lot of misinformation out there due to people trying to literally sell things to their audience.
I included some links if you would like additional reading. They range from a study on captive care management, studies I could find relevant to the severe issue morphs, and some general on snake color and scales.

Is yellow blushing on the side of the belly a common thing with normal ball pythons? I have one normal and one yellowbelly sunset, and my yellowbelly definitely has checkering on his belly for sure, but my normal doesn’t. Her blushing is so strong though, and I haven’t seen that on any other normals. I’m out of town so I currently don’t have a picture that isn’t of her face or her bioactive, but it’s a soft yellow, almost a golden color, and it blushes from the side of her stomach to about 1/3 the way up her side. Otherwise she looks like a regular normal. Could she have other genetic her influences that are only showing up now? For reference, she’ll be turning 6 this August.
Hello friend!
That's an excellent question and I'm sorry to say I don't know the answer. I'm afraid I have not studied ball python genetics and I'm not well versed on their morphs. I'm sorry that I can't be more help!
@i-m-snek breeds ball pythons. They might have a better idea, or know someone who does?
I hope you find the answer you're looking for!

Hey there, @omg-snakes answered my ask and let me know you breed ball pythons, and I have a question that they said you might know the answer to. I copy/pasted the ask:
Is yellow blushing on the side of the belly a common thing with normal ball pythons? I have one normal and one yellowbelly sunset, and my yellowbelly definitely has checkering on his belly for sure, but my normal doesn’t. Her blushing is so strong though, and I haven’t seen that on any other normals. I’m out of town so I currently don’t have a picture that isn’t of her face or her bioactive, but it’s a soft yellow, almost a golden color, and it blushes from the side of her stomach to about 1/3 the way up her side. Otherwise she looks like a regular normal. Could she have other genetic her influences that are only showing up now? For reference, she’ll be turning 6 this August.
Wild types have a ton of variation, so its possible shes still a wild type :) ive seen a lot of them with gold blushing up the sides like that. If you like you can submit a photo of her and i can let you know for sure :)

Funky art. Medusa but with ball pythons and their beautiful morphs. Also a gap where the eyes should be, but that’s probably for the best. I made this with colored pencils and black acrylic paint for the background. If it speaks to you, you may find it here:

top 5 most underrated morphs? you can pick the species :)
I'll do ball pythons since they have so many! All my favorites are pretty simple morphs you can eaisly get for under $300, and these are all ethical morphs with no known issues.
Clown is probably my absolute favorite bp morph. It's so pretty!
Mystic potions. I mean, c'mon! They're purple!
Enchi. It's good if you want a cool pattern disruption but without the harmful effects of the spider morph.
GHI. This morph stands for "gotta have it" - it does look super cool!
Good ol' banana. Lots of people overlook banana nowadays, especially since a lot of people don't like how bananas tend to fade out as they mature. But I love the freckles on mature banana bps!
