Have you seen a morph like this before? If so please let me know what it is.

=====================
I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?
So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.
But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.
Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.
I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.
=====================
Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.
And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

Looks normal to me. Am I missing something?
i agree, normal. nice bands toward the tail.
It's a normal morph. 
Not really, this is the expected response I thought I would get back. I was hoping that someone would be able to recognize it as a subtle morph already out there.
I threw this out there because it is a common denominator in some offspring I produced over several clutches and I confirmed it when it crossed into a pastel recently. It has crossed into some of my desert offspring producing really cool stuff.
Here is a picture of the recent cross into the pastel. I have a pastel sibling on the right.
I will probably post this on most of the forums to see if anyone can idenify it. Hard to beleive it would not already be out there somewhere.

It still looks normal to me, and just passed on its busy pattern to your pastels. I produced pastels from a busy girl that look very similar to those.
I thought the huffman was darker than that and it has squiggles similar to a black pastel
Is it a Huffman?!
I don't know, I will look into that later. Not sure if I have seen one yet, thank you.
I think he's being facetious.
OOOOOHHHH I didn't catch the underlying joke on that one.
What I showed was a hatchling I suspect is more than normal. Your pastel has pastel color. This is the sire.
Last year I produced 1 clutch with this weird looking desert (coloration and pattern)
This year I produced some weird stuff with the male sire again.
I have a couple others that I have not photographed well that are not as extreme as these.
The snakes pictured in the original post all have attributes found within several of the deserts produced. I have never seen a better pastel desert produced so far, and I got two of them, both extreme.
Could I have produced a c or d grade pastel with a funky pattern, sure it's possible. I got two of those with two pastels in the clutch who look like the mother.
I was working with Pro Exotics before the fire on this, they have also produced a few that have that funky type pattern and were holding them back to work with.
I feel with the breedings done so far, that the desert sire has something else genetic wise going on. I feel at this time it lies with the snakes above. I could be wrong, but feel this must be explored further. Just because a snake isn't attractive doesn't rule out it may have something to offer.
Wow Craig those are really awesome how come you always have the coolest desert stuff?

The blushing in the third animal down is insane. Something cool going on!
Thank you. I have produced some more offspring from the desert male and got some more interesting stuff. I have also recieved confirmation from a couple a larger breeders that this is genetic and they are working on projects very similar to mine.
The last clutch hatched a cinnamon desert unknown and a cinnamon unknown. Thank you to those who kept an open mind and were supportive.
Cinnamon/desert/?
Cinnamon combo (middle)
That's amazing!!

seems like a it really brightens colors up looking good
It can, most of the original offspring have got much brighter as they have grown. There are two variations that are created for the same combo and this has made it much harder to figure out. It seemed like all kinds of stuff kept coming out different in the same clutch. One throws a wild pattern with dulled down coloration and the other has a subtle pattern with more intense color. I don't know what that means or holds on future breedings.
Here are both pastel deserts side by side. Both have the gene but are different from each other in color pattern.
These are the pastels side by side and again you can see the difference between them.
Here is one one it's own
