If he was an okeetee, I'd expect to see thicker black lines...
He doesn't look like a Miami phase either to me though...the Miami phase usually has more grey. I'd say he's a normal

Very pretty! She very well could be from Miami. I lived down there for some time, and caught many Corns. They can vary quite a bit from one snake to the next. The term Miami phase was derived by the often seen gray background color many of them have. This has been selectively bred over the years to produce snakes with exceptional gray to silver background color. Yet like I said, she may very well be from Miami. I wouldn't doubt it at all. Congratulations on a great find!

The folks I adopted her from said they found her in plants that were transported here from away, instead of letting the garden shop keeper kill her they brought her home, had her all checked out by a vet and well kept her for the last 8 years. She is my baby even tho she was meant for the hubby lol. The first time he held her she pooped all down his side

and quit a poop she had hehe. I figure she does like him cause she was comfortable enough to poop on him instead of trying to hide to do her business.

Beautiful snake!
He is a classic, or a normal.
Miami phase are named because the distinct coloration was originally bred from corn snakes found in pet shops in Miami. They have bright silver backgrounds.
I have a stunning example of a Miami, but to me the most beautiful corn is the classic.

A snake will either poop out of fear (as a defense) or out of relaxation.
Your hubby should be flattered either way :-)

Ok I read the entire thread, to see why the snake was being called a Miami. I thought the plants came from Miami, and so this was the reason? There are many different looking Corn snakes found in the miami area. Many don't look like the typical Miami "phase", that we all think about when we hear the word. I lived there for years, and I found some that were not gray at all. That is why I said it "could" be a Miami. It does look more like a Classic, which is basically a normal wild phenotype.
