Confirm this for me, a ghost (possibly motley)?

I've had Kaa for about four months now. He was sold as a 'Fancy corn' from Petsmart. The vendor slip said he's a ghost. He seems a bit light to me for a ghost, but I know they've got varying shades of grey all over the spectrum. Is it possible he's a dilute? He's also a Motley, I assume since his belly is somewhat free of any markings, 'cept for some 'clear' looking checkers. No yellow showing in yet. Just want a professional opinion. :)

I know the pictures aren't very good, they're just a couple quick snaps. The first picture was taken indoors (no flash) when he first arrived. The other two are outdoors, no flash.

Also he's got pretty blue eyes. He's a spaz, very flighty, but I'm working with him daily.
 
Forgot the pictures like I always do. Derp.

Definitely not your typical ghost! There is something very different about him. I want to say more charcoal than anery, and the back of my mind is screaming ultramel charcoal. The sides do look like there is some diffusion going on, but I would like to see a belly photo first. I've seen that side pattern on several of my Upper Keys heritage babies as well. Upper Keys could also account for the lighter coloration. The head pattern is very typical to many known het Sunkissed as well. Great Petsmart find! I would have broken my "No snakes from pet stores" rule had I seen him!
 
I agree with Susan and ceduke - what an amazing find! I can't believe something like that showed up at a Petsmart. Congrats!

As far as morph, it definitely looks like ultramel and some kind of anery. I would agree with ultramel charcoal, except for the eyes. Those eyes look way too anery A for me. As far as motley or diffusion...I have no idea. I don't know much about the upper keys lines either.

Seems like you have quite the pretty little mystery on your hands!
