I was thinking possible corn X Bull hybrid. I have posted this in a couple forums to try and get an idea. There is no background on this snake because it has had many owners

It just looks like a very unusually colored corn to me.

In the belly pic you can see the orange/rust color trying to come out. I thought of the color change they go through as babies into adults...and it seemed to me like the color and pattern are trying to be a Bairds but a Corn or other type of Rat snakes influence is ruining it. That dull baby Bairdi color that goes orange and then silver if I am not mistaken?...just seemed like a good guess to me...I especially thought of it when I saw the belly shot...those scales near it really reminded me of Bairdi

hey, thanks for the input.
I have about 150 corns. Trust me, there is no chance this is just an odd corn. I think it either has bull or gopher. The head is way too bulky/stubby-like to be a corn. The snake is real thick-bodied as well.

Misty, how 'bout a shot of the face, a frontal so we can see the rostral scale.

Looks like he has a scar across his nose. Hope all these views help

Thanks for those shots! I am firm in the belief there is no pine, bull, or gopher in there, but could be any other obsoleta if there is indeed a mix. Those are some very cool colors but that is almost certainly mostly corn, the belly says it all for me, but I can see how there could be bairdi in there.

corn and some american rat perhaps......
The body type looks like an American Rat snake not a bull or gopher snake.
Looks like obsoleta body type and belly coloration as well.
Also the snake is so fat the Interstitial Skin showing all that white is throwing off the true color and pattern of the snake in question.
The blotches on the snakes back also strongly resemble obsoleta genes as well......just like the belly.

Thanks,

I vote obsoleta as well.
