She (or he...you didn't say which) is nice...I like the very dark and very light animals the best...especially the ones (like yours) with a clean pattern. I have a couple that are dark like that also. This is another example of the variability of "normal" ball pythons. The differences in pattern and color between balls can be very extreme...even for animals we don't generally consider "morphs".
If it is a female...pair her up with an albino or pied (if these are available to you or in your budget). Produce some dark hets and eventually (hopefully) some very bright yellow albinos or dark pieds. Of course, this is a speculation...who knows how much of her color will be passed on to her offspring?
