I was told it was an albino. I asked if it were albino wouldn't it be white? They said no not for corns. So what is n Amel? And why do they call them morphs?

Albino is absence of color. These are referred to as albino, or red albino (no black).
Anery are sometimes referred to as black albino.

Amel is short for amelanistic. In basic terms, morph is a variant of the Cornsnakes. Different genetics that make up the colors are called morphs.
Hopefully that makes sense.

Ok, yes that makes sense, but wouldn't that explanation make Arrie an albino?

As already stated, "Albino" means Absence of color. Your snake has color. "Amel" (short for amelanistic) is the term used for your snake's coloring (morph).

I'll never forget when I got my first corn (an Amel) the freaking pet store told me she was an albino because she has red eyes!!!! I get a good laugh out of it now though

I have never seen a clear snake albino is a loose term
Albino is just a defect which use to be used as lacking of black pigments or "melanin" albino still has colors

Ok slick if you want to go with google try finding a definition that doesn't talk about hair and snakes I have never seen a snake with hair lol if any albino has a pattern that pattern will show up too
And if you want to talk about a person being albino guess what they get freckles too
And I am sure that some where there is an all white snake with pink eyes maybe a leucistic albino would be
Just saying
