It can be extremely dificult to identify snakes from people's discriptions, but it sort of sounds you might be discribing what's known as a "hypo"(hypomelanistic) cornsnake, or even a caramel. Really dificult to say, but here is a website you should take a look at to see what it might look like.

Another question though,....how come he won't let you take a picture of it to get an identification?. Another question is does the teacher even know what morph(if any) he has?.....it sort of seems like he would have mentioned what kind it was to his class if he knew. Or maybe he just doesn't care one way, or the other.

There's a bunch of people here with just about every type of corn there is, so maybe some others will chime in with some possibilities for you to look at as well.
