Hello!
I just bought this snakes and I'm a little confused about the morphs, so I would like you to help me ID them


I'm so confused with this one I think this is a Lavender Motley but I saw a picture of a Hypo Moonstone and tough it looked the same or is it a Ghost Motley?

It looks like a lavender motley to me. Can we get pics of the ventral side for both of them, and side pics for the possible plasma? From above the plasma looks like just a lavender (but then, most do). What were they sold as?

Very pretty snakes, regardless.

Well, I've only just gotten back into the snakes recently (after a four year hiatus), so other people should confirm, but I'd say you've pegged them right to me.
 
Both appear to be lavender morphs. Plasma = bloodred (diffused) + lavender. The presence of bloodred (diffused) and motley genes affect the typical cornsnake pattern by removal of the ventral belly checkers and the bloodred (diffused) gene will also cause the side (lateral) pattern to blend or “diffuse” - the presence of these genes in your snakes is the reasoning behind the clear bellies and affected side pattern.
