Frosted corns are usually hybrids between gray rat snakes and corns. We used to breed them here at South Mountain in the colors; normal, amel, snow, anery, ghost. One reason you're not seeing too many of them out there is because they're not exactly politically correct in the hobby. Some turn out to look exactly like pure corns and that really throws a wrench in the works when people are expecting pure corns in their breeding projects. Some hatch out as odd-looking "normal" corns that are actually hybrids.

Now, there's a chance that the person that sold that to you was calling your's a frosted amel corn, when in actuality, it IS a frosted-looking pure corn snake. Some people call anything with a frosted look "frosted" corn, but the name applies only to hybrids, to prevent confusion.
