Hey guys,

This may come accross as an odd Q, but seeing as I'm from upside down land....

What doe s a "normal" or wild type corn snake looks like, I honestly have no idea due the myriad of morphs they have and the different morph names?

Honestly, most of the normals out there aren't normals anymore. People mass produce the crap out of them and most of the ones sold are improperly labelled.
I believe this is a normal but don't sue me if I'm incorrect:P

That's fairly normal but I do believe it's called an okeetee. I think it's just a locale.

There are multiple locales for most herps, that's the one im familiar with.

Yeah, that's a "Normal" Okeetee...Aaron's right, it's just a locale. For a truly "Normal", stereotypic corn snake, simply imagine the picture Stephan posted with less pronounced black bands around the saddles, and there you go :)

There are several different locales of corns that are all considered normals. Here's a picture of my normal:

I cant post a pic atm but if you look at my thread -random-pics-my-brb-corn...in the photography bit, thats a proper normal/wild phase. :)

That one first posted is an Okeetee, you can tell by the thick black saddle borders.

This is a great morph website

this is a true normal those are okeetees.

I'm not sure you can really classify one specific snake as a "true" normal, since there are so many varieties/locales of normals. I'm not sure if you were referring to the photo I posted, but my snake is definitely not an Okeetee, and neither sassy_snake_lady's.

EDIT: The first snake pictured is an Okeetee, but the others are not.
