    Help with morph ID

    Hello everyone!

    Recently I "rescued" (for a lack of a better term) a snake, basically a couple weeks ago a family friend asked us if we could help someone she knew and would keep their snake since, for some personal issue, they couldn't care for her any longer. Since I had some space free (and separate from my other snakes) I helped them out.
    Did some thorough check on him (also found out it was a him and not a her) and he seems ok, no external parasites, no stuck shed/eyecaps, no burns, no bruises, no cuts, no scars... to be honest he seems to be way more healthy that what I thought, however I'm waiting on the test results for internal parasites so he's still in quarantine and will stay that way for a couple months until I'm sure he is completely healthy.

    Now I'll be honest, when it comes to corn snake morphs I'm way out of my comfort zone, if he was a ball python I think I would probably be able to identify it since they are the snakes I work with the most, but I have close to no knowledge when it comes to corn morphs. I tried browsing online to find out what he can be but wasn't able to reach any conclusion... I think he might be a Butter Motley but I feel that probably isn't right...

    So I would like to ask for your help, you fine folks that keep corns and know way more about them than me, to help me identify what this boy might possibly be

    Here are some photos of him:








    Some photos of the head since it might also help:






    Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

    Thank you very much for your help dakski!


    Does anyone have any other guesses/agree with dakski's guess?

    Could be absolutely anything

    The Corn snake gene pool is so complex these days ...

    I completely understand that, even more so after trying to figure it out by myself to really no conclusion...

    Knowing that the previous owners were not really into the "reptile hobby", I thought he probably wasn't really complex gene-wise, I was thinking more like single or double dom/co-dom or a single recessive, but it looks like he might actually be a triple recessive!

    Let's see if someone else notices something that we might've missed
