    It could well be ... there are Snows , Blizzards , Whiteouts and Avalanches— they all have some variations in whiteness .. even photos will vary with the lighting as White snakes are so difficult to photograph in my experience

    Maybe there’s a Corn snake expert around..

    Here’s my Blizzard for comparison

    As Zincubus said white corns can be hard to tell sometimes especially in pictures. If the breeder or person selling it labeled it as a Blizzard I would say that is highly probable. Judging by the amount of saddle contrast I would likely say blizzard too.

    Yes that’s a good point about the breeder ..

    Cos this corn snake is a friend of mine, he didn't know the morph so I post and help him ask. From the the snake I see they some faded or very light color on his bad, and got some yellow color on the side, even the head area. Is not fully pure white though...

    Well as said there are some variations to be seen in white Corn snakes .. on light of this info then maybe it’s a rather white Snow Corn as they DO tend to have yellow on their sides .

    Unfortunately without the linage or test breading it's hard to say exactly what it is since even animals of the same morph can have a variety of appearances. The only thing that is certain is it contains at least 2 genes. One that removes the black, probably either amel or lava. The other gene removes reds which could be anery, charcoal and possibly even lavender. It might even be something like a charcoal snow/anery blizzard where the 3rd gene isn't really visible. White corns snake make it a hard task to identify them.

    The end of the day you have a nice looking clean white snake to be proud of.

    Snows will commonly have saddles or light coloration as they get older. Even as babies, snows have saddles.

    Blizzard will have little to no sign of saddles but as it grows older, faded patterning may appear and/or very light yellowing. Not all will grow up like that though. This slight faded pattern and/or coloration may show on the belly as and adult too. Again, many blizzards, if bred well, will look and stay white.

    White outs has a clean belly as well as the lack of pattern and coloration. They are harder to find and more like an assurance that the snake you are buying will stay pure white throughoit even as an adult, hence a heavier price tag.

    Your friend's snake may be a blizzard. Snow's saddles appear more obvious and coloration is more spread out. Blizzards, if coloring is to show, are more apparent on the belly area sometimes.
