What am I? Corn snake or rat snake?
So, I got this little guy at the Dixie Reptile Show yesterday. He was labeled a white sided rat snake - but from looking at pictures of those, I'd say there's no way he could be. I posted this in the rat snake section too - and someone said he looked like a corn snake.
What is your opinion? Corn snake, or something like a gray rat snake? 
I see pictures of anery corns on here that look very much like him - it just seems really odd that the labeling would be that incorrect by the guy selling them. (I now realize that corn snakes are a type of rat snake...but the question still stands, heh.)

Baby texas rat. They all start out that color and start to get more of the reds and oranges as they grow up.

Looks like a Carolina corn snake to me judging by the pattern but something looks a little different in it's colour and the shape of head but suspect thats just the angle of the photo.

You guys DO know that corns are Red Ratsnakes, right?
It looks like a grey or maybe black rat. They are very similar as hatchlings.
Go to cornsnakes.com and post up a pic there. Or try a fieldherping forum. You really can't be sure, or I can't, just from the picture you've posted.
I may not be very smart, but what if I am?

Yes, corns are red ratsnakes.  :
But that's not the common name they're known by. When I said ratsnake I was referring to a texas rat snake.
But if you want to call everything by the proper name, we can all humor you, I'm sure...

Thanks, grits! I guess it was looking at pictures of adult Texas Rat Snakes that threw me off. Looking at pictures of babies, now - that's definitely him.  It wasn't you know, hugely important - we don't breed or anything - but it's always nice to know what you've got.

All cornsnakes are rat snakes, not all rat snakes are corns.
Yours is not a corn snake, its a rat snake.
