What might this be?

Local petshop is selling a snake that's been turned in. She has it labeled as a cornsnake, but after I said I was sure that it wasn't, she said she suspected that it might not be. If anything, it's a hybrid. He sure is pretty and was had a firm grip. I told the owner that I'd let her know what the informed opinion of the group was on what he is. She said she'd be glad to update the label.

Anyway, here it is:

The belly has no checkers, only a little peppering of color specks. I forgot to get a clean shot of the belly, and the owner tried to twist him around for me as I took a shot through the glass.

Could this be a jungle corn?
 
Well his head sure is interesting! I don't think he's a pure corn either - but I'm no expert, I can't even guess what he's be mixed with! Lovely snake!
 
Some of those pics at Rich's site look VERY much like this guy. FYI - They're asking only $35 for him, or her.
 
You're going to make me cry! The reason I suspected it was an upper keys, is because I want one. I saw 'upper keys' hatchlings advertised for £70 ($140-ish), but they don't look right at all. For £35 I'd chew your arm off for that snake, let alone $35!

Sounds like a negotiation is in order... ;)
 
:angry01: I live in the wrong darn country! Upper keys for $35!......grumble, mumble, bah-humbug!:angry01:
 
That is why you just buy it and don't say anything. Then a week later call her and tell her you found out what it was. lol

Why? It's not like upper keys are a rare form of corns. No different than an okeetee or Miami. It's not like they carry the price tag of say a lav blood or something...

Because they have a normal listed for $60 and an Amel for $75?
