Rat Snake ID Needed

This guy wasn't in the field, but at a reptile zoo in PA. He was labeled as a generic "rat snake" and it showed them native to the central US. Nothing about him is really standing out to me. He was about 6 feet long and had a massive head. I first thought Everglades rat, but after looking at pics, that guess appears to be incorrect. Any ideas?

It looks like a cottonmouth to me.

The size (girth), saddle pattern and width of the head are confusing me. Corn hybrid maybe?

Could be a corn x glades or corn x yellow. But it definitely looks like it does have corn in it!

I thought the corn was obvious enough that you must have been talking about the Cotton Mouth.

Yea, you're right the head does look wrong.
