Kind of looks like a hybrid "Jungle corn" to me-- Jungle corn is the name for a hybrid between a King snake and a Corn snake.

If the previous owner said it's a hybrid, it probably is... Be sure to treat him like one if you ever breed or sell him. Congrats on getting him to eat f/t!

Looks like either a "jungle corn" or a brooksie.

The head pattern reminds me a lot of my Brooksi - and the body kind of reminds me of a chocolate banana calif. king.

In that first pic, it definitely has that kingsnake head & face, but the solid patterning says "not a brooksi" to me.

That should read, "not a pure brooksi".  Not too familiar w/ colubrid hybrids...

My best guess would be a hybrid. :)

sometimes, hybrids are some of the coolest snakes out there. :) Congrats on a cool snakie.
