That looks like a green snow! 75% sure on that. Does everyone agree?

It's a "snowcorn" that will most likely get much more yellow/green as it matures. ............................Doug

Many people put way to much emphasis on dreaming up different names for slight differences,or variation in individuals!!. Some "snows" have more pink, green, yellow,ect.....but really it's only one of many variations of "snowcorn"!!!, also, it is not what I would refer to as a "Motley" either,as it would have to have much more than the slight amount on it's neck for me to honestly call it one.....Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing your animal, as a matter of fact, It looks really nice,.....many would agree with me,some might disagree,........this is my opinion.........Doug

Well Mr. Doug.....I think that just about sums it up.
It is a snow, not a motley snow but it is indeed a very nice snow

by the way...for the original poster..
A snow corn is a corn snake that is expressing amelanism and anerthrism.
Amelanism is a lack of melanin (black) resulting in a snake with brighter remaining colors and red eyes.
Anerythrism is basically the lack of red pigmintation.
So, when you remove the black with amelanism and the red with anerythrism you have what is basically a white snake with varying degrees of pinks, yellows and greens.
