post a pic, where did you get him? It is very unlikely that he is any kind of morph. If you just got him from a petstore, it's probably just a nice looking normal. Look at pictures of morphs online, unless your snake REALLY looks like the pics, he is probably normal.

here is a guide to some common morphs. Keep in mind that "het marker" show up as normal traits also, meaning something that looks het for piebald isn't always het just because it looks like it is. IE think of it in people or other animals, you can't always tell by looking at an albino's parents that they have the albino gene, but it's there nonetheless.
usually when someone asks this question, it's a normal.
