I have owned certain cornsnakes(especially wild-caught) that were every bit as nasty and defensive as that snake.

That is very much a North American Ratsnake of the obsoletus complex. Without knowing it's exact parental lineage it is really impossible to say if it is a genuinely "pure" subspecies though, but it is either an amelanistic(albino) Black ratsnake, or an amel man-made subspecific cross of the Black ratsnake.....this is certain.
