Yeah, the previous guy figuring the snake was a "butter/aztec" proves he doesn't know the first thing about corns right off the bat...LOL! There's really know way of knowing what it actually is though, because it could be an odd-looking ghost, or be an anery corn x Gray Rat product of whatever percentage. The sparce belly checkering, lack of head pattern, broken/voided saddling and spotting on the sides, and even the large size could easily be from Gray ratsnake influence. Those crosses (known as "frosted" corns) can look very similar.

Also, female ghosts tend to be a bit darker as a general rule than males, and I noticed that the tail in the one pic seems sort of short and tapered for a male. Might be "Princess" instead of "Prince", tough to say though from that one photo.

Looks like a silverqueen ghost to me. The split belly checkers gave it away.

Split belly checkers also happen a lot in hybrids though

I'll be the first to tell you I don't know a thing about morphs, but it really does look to have some gray rat somewhere. I'm jealous, I really like that snake lol

Great insight, thanks so much! Considering he breeds snakes (mostly boas) I would like to assume that he sexes his snakes. But at this point I‘d probably take your guess over his Lol, maybe I can get a better pic of his tail.
You guys are bringing up the results I came to when researching. I though he could possibly be a silver queen..but I read how uncommon it would be. He really may be mixed or “hybrid“. Who knows! I don‘t care really but I think he‘s interesting looking :-)

I just seen this thread now, and DOES look a lot to me like a grey oaks rat snake, they had a young one at the reptile shop I got my snake at and he looked just like that! but smaller, they are partly tree dwelling.. but are very similar to corns care wise!

I love the eyes.. that's why I was admiring the one the shop today!
