I bought a young male western Hognose last week and still being a beginner on terms for colors and patterns i am not quite sure what morph he is. A picture is attached for reference. If any more are necessary just reply.

After doing some research I believe he is either a "shadow" or "mochaccino" Does anyone have any definite answers?

What was it sold to you as? If a reputable breeder sold it to you as one of those morphs, it would probably be OK to assume that is what it is. Or did you purchase it as a normal? It looks like a normal to me, however, I have never seen a 'shadow' or 'moccachino' in person, but I have seen lots of normals. If it was sold as a normal, but you feel as though it is not then a few test breedings in the future will prove him as a morph or not. Hognoses are awesome snakes. Good luck!
 
Honestly I bought it at a small privately owned pet shop that specializes in reptiles and fish. It was sold as a western Hognose, no albino or any other references. So I suppose it can be a normal. I did plan to breed him in the future so it should be interesting either way.
