Is it even a corn snake?

[redmantodd]

The picture is a snake that I saw for sale, but I can't identify it. They are calling it a corn snake, but I have never seen one with the colors that it has. Can anyone identify it?



Thanks

The head is off, it isn't a Corn Snake. Looks more like a Rat Snake, probably a Yellow Rat (Elaphe obsoleta quadrivittata).

Looks like some sort of hybrid.

Doesn't appear to have the striping of a yellow rat, I call hybrid as well.

You should ask the guy for better pictures. Also, a close-up of the head.

They say that it is a corn snake, that they got from a private breeder. Here are more pictures. The first pic is a younger pic. What morph do you think?








Best,

I'd still go with not a pure corn. The head scales don't look right. Looks like some everglades in there.

The first snake doesn't even look like the other pics - one has saddles and the rest are striped. I still vote no for corn. The first one says hybrid to me, the 2nd looks like it could be a yellow rat.

Yea, those are two different snakes or i'm losing my mind. The second pic is a striped something or other... Can they lose their ladder patterns??

The first reminds me of an eastern milk just because of the head, it's not the same sort of pattern exactly, but I would say that it's not a milk.

Yeah the first pic is definately not the same snake.... I dont know what either of them are...
