Without being able to see the ventrum, it looks like what we used to know as "Rosy Rat Snake", E. g. rosacea. From extreme southern Florida and the keys, it exhibits a decreased black pigment, often none at all. Depending on whose taxonomy you choose to follow, it may or may not be a valid subspecies. However, with all the captive breeding going on these days, who knows?

I was looking at South Mountain Reptiles site, and my snake looks almost identical to thier Caramel Corn. I love all your input, thanks to everyone who has replied.

I would agree with Scotty - looks like a rosy rat snake or keys variety of a normal corn that apprears hypomelanisitic. In my opinion it has too much reddish orange to be a caramel corn - they typically have almost entirely yellow/brown color rather than the red/orange. It is virtually impossible to be sure of that without breeding it to confirm whether the caramel genes are present though, but they are relatively uncommon among corns in Canada. It is a very pretty corn and the saddle patterns are approaching banded and very symetrical. It is also possible that the enhanced yellow comes from a creamsicle influence - some of the normal colored corns from creamsicle lines can look like your guy and they often have rather banded saddles. Thanks for sharing photos,
mary v.

Thank you everyone for all your input. The more pictures I look at the more I am in agreeance that she "looks like a rosy rat snake or keys variety of a normal corn that apprears hypomelanisitic" as two of you have suggested. In any case, she's a big beautiful girl.

I'm not 100% sure but i know it's not an amel or a carmel. I would go with scotty on this one.

Well, it can't be amel, it has dark eyes and they don't seem to be red to me, I think it's a Rosy Rat. Beauty anyhow!

I'm almost posotive it is a rosy rat Elaphe guttata rosacea from the florida keys. It's a great looking snake.
