Looking at the second pic down I would have said Snow motley. He looks very nice. I like the little patch of yellow on the tip of the snout. Gives him a little unique look |

The motley is a genetic trait that creates circular patterns down the back of the corn snake and basically reduces any coloration from under the belly. the snake would look like this one for example:  and underneath look like this:  The genetics have also led to motley stripes as well. |

its the lack of black and orange/red colouration that snows are as a type that causes the light colouration on the belly area which would be dark in an animal possessing such melanin such as anery or amelanistic type but as snows lack both these traits they are left with light colouration all over

Stunning snow corn moltey |

He's a very friendly little snake and is starting to catch up on the others. He seems to be growing lengthways at the moment but I should think he'll start to broaden out shortly.
