Just to stir things up, what is this?

I posted this on the Cornsnake forum as well, so many of you may have already seen it. If so, sorry, just trying to get as many opinions as to what it may be as possible. I was given it as a lavender, but it sure does have a LOT of yellow and purple coming in. It's a yearling male, so I need to figure out what I should be getting for him to breed with in the future. These pics have not been altered, and they are taken outside on a sunny day, but out of direct sunlight.

Hope I can get some replies here as well. I don't really know what I should be calling this guy and would love some help with it.

well, my first thought was ghost but unless you have absolutely no reason to trust the person you got it from then I would go with lavender. It depends on what you want as to what to get to breed it to.
If you want lavenders get a lavender if you want something else get whatever it would take to pair with a lavender and get that.
Your question will be answered when you breed it.

not a lav lav.......

maybe ( my guess ).....hypo lav or ultra hypo lav.......

.......that purple is too light to be normal lavender

.......breed it to a hypo lav at least......or lav het hypo....

if that don't work correctly.....get an ultra-lav
