I really don't know but I'm gonna guess mole kingsnake. It'll be interesting to see if I'm right!

If this is some sort of quiz, it looks like a gigantic albino Prarie King(L.c.calligaster) to me............or else it's a king/cross of some sort.

This is a photo of a South Florida Mole Kingsnake(L.c.occipitolineata) that is very closely related to the Prarie Kingsnake.

I agree, a VERY large albino prairie king or a cross.

Unfortunately I don't have any answers for you guys; its not a quiz. Someone found this lil beauty and I picked it up from the pound, but don't know what it is. Its a lot more muscular and stronger than a corn.

Yes,...a Kingsnake will have a Cornsnake for lunch, and not think anything about it!.......they are VERY STRONG,and have thick robust necks designed for overpowering other animals(thus the name Kingsnake).

Like "antelope" and I both agree on, it's a "MONSTER" sized albino Prairie Kingsnake(L.c.calligaster), or a Kingsnake/cross that resembles a "gigantic" albino Prairie King. it cannot be anything else!
At least you have a good idea of what you have now.
