This first one is Specter. I believe him to be a "Ghost" corn. I Haven't tried to pop or probe him yet and I think he is too young to tell by his tail.

The second one is Herbie. I don't know if he is an Albino, a Creamsicle or a Sunglow. I will post a few pics of him. I would like to see if anyone can tell me what kind he is. He is also about 2.5' long. Those pics are pre-shed, I didn't know he was in a shed when I got him. He shed this morning.

Herbie looks like a nice amelanistic (red albino). He doesn't look like a creamsicle to me, nor like a sunglow. Sunglows are amels that have been selectively bred to have no white. Since Herbie shows some white around the saddles, I wouldn't consider him a sunglow. HOWEVER...some breeders use hypomelanism to create their sunglows, and you can't tell that by looking. Herbie MAY be het or homozygous hypo...only breeding trials will tell for sure.

If Specter was sold to you as a ghost, then he probably is. Sometimes it can be very difficult to tell the difference between a dark ghost and a light anerythristic. Specter falls into that catagory from what I see by those pics. The colors are a bit off, so new pics may be more conclusive.

BOTH are very lovely cornsnakes!
 
Thank you for the advice Susan. I don't plan on breeding them, I just wanted something to vary my collection a little. I had 3 balls before I got them too. I am getting two more balls on the 15th and a RTB soon too. I am waiting for the weather to warm up so my RTB can be shipped.
