Can someone ID this morph for me?

I bought this little guy from the petstore as a candycane....but I don't think he is. Since I suck at this, can anyone tell me more about his morph? Thanks in advance :)

Looks like an amel hurricane motley to me. Amel (amelanistic - lacking black pigment).
Candy Cane is a selectively bred amel that usually expressed more red and white and less yellow/orange. If you could get a picture with better light we may be able to better determine if this one could be considered a candy cane.

Motley is the little circular dots starting near the head in the pattern. The clear belly (no checkers) confirms motley pattern. Hurricane is the little "swirls" around the outside of the motley dots.

Looks like a very pretty snake!

100% agree! That is a very pretty snake. Goes to show some times pet stores can put out some good stuff and not know it. LOL
 
I wouldn't call it a hurricane, just a motley. A few sorta swirls should not be enough. The hurricane distinction is being used so much it's almost become meaningless, IMO. When differentiating a specific look, I think the bar should be pretty high. It takes away from those who put the time and effort into really reaching the original spec. A very nice motley, just don't think it fits the original hurricane distinction. One of my pet peeves, sorry if anyone takes offense.
 
I'm with Duff on this one. Amel motley, but it could be a creamsicle too. I've had creams with no belly pattern.
 
Might just be the pictures, but it looks like there is more corn influence.. What makes me think that is the amount of red the animal appears to have.. Creams should not have the red colouration if you ask me..
