Meet Aurora. She was sold to me from a local herp shop in Summer 09. So she will be two this year. She was sold as a Golddust.

There is her baby picture. She had a funny light head, but I have not seen any golddust babies...so I figured it was probably normal.

Now here she is a year and a half later and I am beginning to wonder if Golddust is not fool's gold. I am including several pictures...then I would like to hear your theories on morph. I am thinking most likely she is a butter. That is just fine by me. Part of me wonders about her being a Sulfer...because of her light head, patternfree sides, and odd belly checkers. However she does have belly checkers...so that seems to through sulfer out the window. I am pretty sure she is not golddust. (there is no visible black anywhere) I am not breeding so it really doesn't MATTER per say...just interested. She was a gift for Lauren and I was looking for a butter at the time. So I won't be dissapointed or anything. Just curious.

Anyway...on to pictures.

Most accurate color is this shot...

The rest are a bit too yellow from the direct sun.

I checked with Ian's Viv and even though there were only a few sulfur pics and many butter pics, I think you have a sulfur. Your snake's eyes look just like the sulfurs'.

She has belly checkers, so she can't be a sulphur. But I think she is a gorgeous butter. Nice pastel shades of buttery deliciousness!!

Should also ad that our local herp guy has absolutely no price difference between morphs. All cornsnakes are $99 ($85 on sale!) no matter what color they are (even normals) and no matter what age they are. He just never changes the price.
 
Looks like a great butter, most likely from a clutch that produced both butters and golddusts and the breeder was unsure as to which yours was at hatching/labeling (some butters are quite dark and brownish at hatching so it can be confusing).
 
Thanks everyone! She is lovely...and I really didn't like the look of golddusts honestly...so I am really glad!
