Your hopes that it is a wild creation are the very crux of my statements. Since I believe ultramels are the product of gray rat X corn, your's could be an ultramel if not for one thing. Ultra is only compatible with albinos. What are the odds an albino is out there procreating?
I realize you're thinking it is something different and I hope you're right. I always tell people to believe genetics before they believe their eyes, but in this case, your snake is a dead ringer for an ultramel. I'll dig up a pic of one of mine for you to see. Having said that, your's is prettier than any ultramel I've seen to date, but when you see pix of ultramels, the similarities cannot be ignored.
No matter what that turns out to be, it's stunning. Huge congratulations for a great find. It is not my attempt to devalue your discovery. Just offering opinions based on previous experiences and knowledge based on currently known corn morphs.
