Wheres the typical banding? That I think I have to agree is probably a jungle, at first glance I figured just an albino Cali... I have to look twice and three times.. What kind of additude? Dog tame or nippy??

Also what about asking Bekers71 she breeds hybrid snakes and pure Cali Kings. So she would be a good one to ask about differences that might help you to decide. As well check the Anal/Vent scale/scute/plate is it a full undivided plate? Does it look like it has a divide? Kings tend to have a single vent plate and corns tend to have one that looks divided. I am honestly not sure how it would look on a hybrid but this may help you decide if it is a pure king, ie: single full undivided plate.

@ Tim of TandJ it could maybe be a hybrid of the Albino Speckled King and a Corn, could it not? Some of the Albino Speckled Kings I have seen have a thin aberrant pattern vs a banding look to them.
 
Any chance this could be some kind of aberrant neon snow corn?? I Know more likely its some kind of hybrid. Acts just like my corns, except the hatchlings. Oh and I looked at all my snakes current and past snakes pics, I have had corns with the snub nose and closer eyes ACK! Vent scute? Is that the scale at the vent opening or the one immediately after the vent opening? The last scale before the vent opening is solid one piece, the scale after and all folowing are split looks like a closed zipper just like my corns. He's been with me only a couple days and his skin feels much better. Also I was checking on him and just barely missed getting pooped on lol! He looked at me as he did it, like he was saying, "What? You came into MY bathroom remember?" LOL. He just seems to scream corn to me. He is very banded but there are places on the side patern where it is not connected or has spots of white. Also in most of the white bands are very very pale peachy blotches. Some of the incomplete bands have specks of orangey red. Very tiny and I checked its not mites. Its actually part of the scales. I tried hard to catch it on the camera but he moves too much! Trying to photograph him by myself is like trying to bottle time. Impossible! Ok here is what gets me, looking at his eyes straight on the pupil stays pinkish red, but the iris appears a yellowish pink, at an angle the iris looks that dusky pink like REW rabbits. I wish I could walk around to everyone and hold him out and say here, see? Its so much easier in person, sigh. Hubby either gets off at midnight or 1 am, will see about getting pics then or in the morning. Possibly wait til morning to use natural light outside for the pics.
 
Never mind about it being an aberrant snow, I can not find anything that is just corn that has this kind of yellow. Its like a neon sign. So if I breed him should I list the offspring as hybrid corn x ? or ?? Jungle corns? I'm clueless. :shrugs:
 
So to me and keep in mind I am not an expert but the one full scale right before the vent (that is the one I wanted you to look at) means it is not a corn. So you either have a King or a Hybrid. I say or a Hybrid because I do not know what King or Corn Hybrid Vent scales look like. I do not know if they would be a single undivided scale like the King in their bloodline or a divided scale like the Corn in their blood line.

Glad to hear that the skin is improving.
 
Well, I double checked and yup its solid, where as all my corns have split ones. So Jungle Corn? Its head looks corny to me so I am going to say Jungle. I like Jungles, don't get me wrong but so far every king I have bough has turned out to be a jungle! This is ridiculous! Why is it so hard to find a freakin King snake in MO? Ok I am not totally upset but I wanted a king. I'll keep trying though.
