I'm almost sure this isn't a pure Corn... I think it's a Black Ratsnake Albino...
It looks very nice though!!!
 
The shape of the head makes me think of a guttata/spiloides (grey rat) hybrid. The white edges of the scales seem to confirm that. Not sure though ;)
 
See how easily our "Corn Pool" gets hybrid blood in it all of the time. I agree with the position that it is a Gray Rat hybrid. There is a lot of them around being called Frosted or Rusty Corns.

Kat, your snake is very nice. I was just using it as a point for another thread. We loose track of hybrids all of the time and they get bred to Corns and then sold as "Pure". I would recommend one of the Frosted Corns as a good mate for your snake. It looks like an Albino Frosted Corn to me.
 
Thanks For Your Opinions......

Response From Corn Guru.....

GOOD MORNING ALL.....JUST AN UPDATE ON MY MYSTERY CORN..
I RECEIVED THIS EMAIL FROM KATY LOVE HERSELF.....THOUGHT I'D SHARE HER THOUGHTS......
KAT

The photo is not the best close-up to say for sure. I have never seen an amel corn that faded looking. Usually albino black rats have that faded look. But the head and the blotch shape look pretty much cornsnake. I guess there could be some rat snake in the ancestry, though. Hard to say. My guess is a really faded amel (albino) corn. Usually, the more faded they are, the older they are (but not always). So she could be pretty old.

Sorry, can't help more than that.

Good luck!
