Definitely not a cornsnake of any type of morph. It is most certainly a juvenile N. American Ratsnake of the obsoletus complex. Juvenile Yellow rats do look very similar when youger, but I think the yellowish/red incandecent lighting is throwing the true coloration off a good bit. With the more solid gray head it has, I think it is a Texas Ratsnake(Pantherophis o.lindheimeri). These and other North American ratsnakes can be extremely variable looking depending on the areas where they occur in the country, and can have often have some genetic influences from other nearby subspecies close to their range. They can range from very drab gray and dark, to substantially yellow background with contrasting dark saddle blotching.

Here is a Texas Rat that looks similar to yours.
