Doesn't look like a pewter to me, but other than that, I have no suggestions. :shrugs: Maybe anery/charcoal/diffused, but even in shed, that's really dark. Really nice looking snake though!

Maybe a dark anery motley? Doesn't look like diffusion to me, and not every motley is very...err...motley-ed
...< doesn't look like a charcoal, doesn't mean it isn't tho...The more you see the more you realize the huge variation among morphs and morph combo's; makes it fun...and frustrating lol...Be neat to see it after shed

Okay, I don't know anything at all about morphs I'll admit, but the side blotchy saddle thing looks like the weird saddles I've seen in cinders. He doesn't seem to have the cute little snub nose of a cinder though. lol I have no clue, disregard my comment, just felt like putting that out there. Whatever he is he's a cutie though.

He looks more like an anery to me versus a charcoal. But since anery masks charcoal, he might be both.
As for being diffuse, while his belly gives the impression of being without checks, I have seen as well as produced some that have mostly a plain belly but a few checks right along the edges, just like yours shows. Since they did not have the side diffusion, like yours, I labeled them as not being homo diffuse until their new owners could prove otherwise through breeding trials. The mask gene can also produce the head and belly pattern seen in many diffused, and in many cases, both the diffuse and mask gene is present, but not always necessarily so.
Do you see any bleeding of color on his belly? Do you see any "transparent" scales on his belly? Both of those can be seen in homo diffuse snakes. Here is a good example of the color bleeding and "transparent" scales:

I agree with Tara, looks Kisatchie-ish.

Looks too hypermelanistic to be anery or charcoal to me. Though the pupil says more charcoal than anery if I had to pick.

If it helps, got a picture of his side.
Also I will have to double check, but I believe his belly is solid white, no transparent scales, and no real color bleeding. The flash makes him look browner than he looks under normal lighting, he's quite grey. (He also shoved all his papertowels to one end of the tank, badsnake) I'm trying not to disturb him too much until he's settled.
