Yah, that's an Amelanistic corn snake... I guess you could make up your own fancy name for an amel., but no-one would understand you.
The "fancy names" are meant to indicate a line-bred special look of the corn. If you randomly decide to start calling your amel an "orange sherbert" or whatever, you'll never be respected in the herp community. Special names are there for a reason. With experience, you'll be able to see the difference in the snakes.
Also, as a side note: If a breeder shows me a snake that they INSIST is an RO, but it just looks like a regular old amel, I probably wouldn't purchase any of their animals. Letting something like that slide, not knowing enough to tell the difference, or simply not caring are non-negotiables. It shows they have low standards. :shrugs:
