Cool pattern! Neat colours too... have no clue what it could be 
Nice find though! What was it sold to you as?
Wax32 aren't normals more orange/red? and with that aberrant pattern? He looks pretty brownish compared to other normal hatchlings I've seen? (I'm honestly curious why you say normal, I'm trying to get better at identifying morphs but don't always know what to look for)

I think wax was being silly. I know a little bit about certain "easy" morphs (lmfao), but the color makes me think caramel, and the little black borders make me think hypo. Is it an amber? I don't know if that's a sunkissed head pattern, but sunkissed always throws me for a loop.

Well, I was sort've being silly.
A weird looking snake like that, without labels on it, might as well be a normal...
Buying snakes at shows and not knowing what you are getting is a pet peeve of mine! Breeders usually label their snakes well. I am guessing this was a reseller selling this snake? AT this point it is going to take breeding trials to figure out what that guy is.
What was he SOLD AS?
He could very well have some caramel/hypo/ het sunkissed going on there. To me he has too much black to have any of the hypo type traits, but who knows?
By the way: I might not have been able to resist him either, he IS a very nice looking snake. Choosing what to breed him to is gonna be tough. Hopefully it is a male which will make proving him out faster.

I dunno, this is what it most closely reminds me of... http://iansvivarium.com/morphguide/amber/
But now that I'm looking, the saddles around its neck look strange... Which looks kind of like the sunkissed that I see on Ians vivarium.
That's my guess. Sunkissed amber.

What are your plans for him? I'd breed him to a normal (preferably het for nothing, but how easy is it to find one of those??? :rofl: ) then breed some female offspring back to him.
Awesome pick up!

I agree. Definitely the faster way of proving/disproving genes.

It looks like a normal to me, and if it was sold as one at that price.. it probably won't do you a whole lot of good to start scheming up that it is a bunch of other more rare things...
Definitely looks like it might have some nice hets. I was thinking "hypo" at first until I saw the closer shots of the eyes and obviously black borders.
Remember that normals have a HUGE range of variation. As Dave said, nice normal ya got there.

The fun part of why it was sold as a normal, along with everything else on the table, was that the lady selling them had no idea what they were.
Sunkissed is a weird hypo/pattern gene. Sometimes it's obviously hypo-y, other times it's more a pattern thing. Still weird enough to buy, and even just het for both traits, is still not bad for 45.
Need my other camera and a couple of normal colored ones for the differences to be more obvious.
Methinks I may name him Snickers. Who knows what's inside!
