Abstract
In this paper we study slant null curves with respect to the original parameter on 3-dimensional normal almost contact B-metric manifolds with parallel Reeb vector field. We prove that for non-geodesic such curves there exists a unique Frenet frame for which the original parameter is distinguished. Moreover, we obtain a necessary condition this Frenet frame to be a Cartan Frenet frame with respect to the original parameter. Examples of the considered curves are constructed.
