IMHO, I don't think you'll have much luck finding many people on this forum that have interest in locality corns. I am interested in NJ local corns but no one breeds them and they can not be collected from the wild. If you have a Delaware line, all I can say is hold onto it FOREVER since it won't be long before all the overdevelopment in NJ runs down into Delaware and corns become virtually extinct from that isolated population (if it hasn't happend already). I would venture to guess that you would have better luck on the 'other' corn snake website OR by going to herp shows since despite everyone and their mothers having websites these days, some still don't. For instance, Lee Abbott supposedly has beautiful okeetee corns but unless you live near him or go to a herp show down south, you'd never know.
Another thought, you might want to try outcrossing your line with some morphs to see if there are any interesting variations in pattern or color. You could simply maintain two lines, one pure and one outcrossed. I don't know how it would work out but I am into locale corns but I think its extremely rare to find anyone with a serious locale breeding group that interested traced back to some obscure stock.
