Since this seems to be sort of a never-ending saga(but extremely entertaining though..LOL!), I would like to simply point ONE little thing out.



In this photo towards the far right, I have done a mid-body(within 1-2 inches) scale count on exactly HALF of the snake up to the center point of it's vertebrae. I have counted 11 scales there. Now doing some simple math here, I can conclude that this cannot be a cornsnake, and fits perfectly with the meristics of an Eastern milksnake.



Now, I knew it was an Eastern the second I laid eyes on it from the very beginning from looking at many of it's subtle, combined key features, but counting 11 scales at mid-body really leaves only one conclusion here.



I don't think there is a known corn morph for "micropholis"(few scales)..
