What morph do I have here?

Found this little dude at Petco. Nobody was buying him so I decided I'd pick him up and ad him to my collection. Through searching around internet I have yet to find an accurate morph that describes what this little noodle is. Wondering if any of you guys and gals might know?

Cool, thanks guys. This is the frist Colubrid in my collection. I'm more of a python guy so I figured I'd ask around before assuming. I guess paying $30 for this little dude wasn't too bad then ;)

Stripe causes a hypomelanistic effect all on its own. To tell whether its an amber vs caramel stripe, I'd breed it to something homozygous for hypo and NOT het or homozygous for motley or stripe.

Ok. What might that produce? Regular patterned caramels or ambers with some stripe or vanishing stripe possibilities in either color?

If you breed it to a known amber with a normal pattern, you'll either get all ambers or all caramel (or ambers and caramels if it's het for hypo) and all the babies will be het for stripe.
If you breed it to just a hypo with a normal pattern, you'll either get all hypos or all normals (or a mix of both if het hypo) het for caramel stripe.
 
I have my doubts that it's amber. The head pattern looks a touch too dark for hypo. I've noticed caramel tends to have a slight dull green/brownish tint where ambers are typically brighter yellow in hue.
