Should I buy it?

I met a local breeder who wants to sell me the following snake. He claims it is a morph, but I am not sure. I have posted the pictures he gave me of the belly and the body below for your guys/ladies review. Please let me know if you feel this is a morph. I noticed he is lighter then the other bp's the guy had. Thanks for your help.

Again, thanks for your help.

Looks fairly normal - what's he claiming it to be?

"In the beginning Bob created the Ball Python market. And the market was without morph, and wild traits were upon the industry. And Bob said, Let there be morph, and there was morph. And Bob saw the morph, that it was good; and Bob divided the morph from the wild trait. And Bob called the morph Albino, and the wild trait Normal. And the Albino and the Heterozygous Albino were the first investment.

He said it is a yellow belly. But that is one of those morphs like fire and vanilla that I don't really understand how to tell.

It's male. Not sure on the weight, he's about 3 feet long and pretty solid. He is asking $225 for him.

that is completely normal, and now you should question everything the guy says, as well as overall integrity. that kind of okey doke should be a lifetime deal breaker.
