New corn. Charcoal?

The presence or lack of yellow really can't be used to identify an anery from a charcoal because both morphs can have varied amounts of yellow, from none to quite a lot. Since you were initially told your snake was a ghost, and by the sheer blackness of your snake, I would say I'm 99.999% sure that it's an anery (and a gorgeous one at that!). By the looks of that baby, its definitely het hypo (baby looks 100% hypo).
IMO, the person you purchased it from just has no clue what hypo is supposed to do to an anery to make it a ghost. I have a theory that quite a few corns out there are labeled and being sold as "ghosts" that are actually anerys het hypo. I've seen far too many photos of "ghosts" that look just like your snake. People buy them, reproduce them and sell the offspring as having a ghost parent simply because they don't know any better and feel they just have a "dark line" of ghosts. Yes, some hypos can be very dark, but there IS a limit, IMO and yours has crossed it.
And for comparison, THIS (follow the link) is a ghost.
