Help determing the type of cornsnake

Hey guys! I needed some help with determining the type of cornsnake I have. When I bought it, the store said black motley. But my snake does not look like the black motleys I've seen online nor is my snake black. Here are some pictures of him. I'd also appreciate it if you guys tell me what you think of the setup. I have an under tank heater under the cave.

Looks like an anery ("black albino") motley/stripe from where I sit.......but a closer dorsal shot could prove me wrong (maybe lavender, hard to see the true coloration with the given photos).

Your first corn, I take it? Welcome to the addiction. :)

I think it is either an Anery Motley, or a Ghost Motley. It has quite a bit of yellow already, so I don't think its a Lavender. Either way, it is a very pretty corn. I love the yellow stripe it has.
 
Welcome :), Again, either an Anery motley or Ghost motley. I too like the yellow on this one, I'm not usually a fan of yellow on Anerys, but this one looks pretty damn cool. :cheers:
 
Ohh forgot about the ghost motley. Ya if you could get some more shots of him it might be easier to tell.
 
What a lovely snake! It could be a ghost or an anery ('black albino') motley, because there is so much variation in how they look, so some ghosts are darker than some anerys. Absolutely love the yellow it has already, it looks like it's going to be stunning when it grows up

Since when did lavenders fall into the ugly yellow category Dale... DUH!11 :rolleyes:

Looks like a nice anery mot you have there...
 
Thanks alot guys! I'll try to get better pictures and post them. I saw a snake that looked kinda like mine and it was a hurricane motley, do you guys think thats what my snake is? I really appreciate all your help.
By the way, it is my first snake, and I'm already fighting soo hard not to get more. I feel like I want to get all the types of cornsnakes, which I know is impossible. I'm planning on getting a cornsnake and a ball python in about a month.
Thanks again!!

Well, it's not a Hurricane Motley and definately no Lavender Motley. Lavenders don't have any yellow. It either could be a light Anery Motley or a Ghost Motley.
The only thing you have to do is find out what the parents were or wait a couple of years and testbreed him or her to a corn who got Hypo a in it, preferable a proven Ghost. If all offspring are Ghosts, this is also a Ghost Motley and if the all are Anery's (Missing Reds) then it is an Anery Motley.
 
Looks like an Anery Motley to me.. Not a hurricane motley though.. Carol has a Anery Hurricane Motley posted up some wheres here on Cornsnakes.com .. Nice find though ..
