Hey this is my new corn snake Jack. I just got him last Thursday. He has already successfully ate a pinky mouse, with a little confusion where the head is tho. I think he is a Miami phase but I am not certain because his head looks more like a Normal. Could someone help me. Thanks

My bad

The first pic isn't really that bad. A bit dark maybe. The others are a victim of the camera trying to choose where to focus. That screen in the back or the bright water bowl probably fooled it. Same with the hand shot. I've got plenty of bad shots of our snakes to go along with the good ones!

a camera tip.... some digital cameras have a focus lock (not sure if that is what it is really called). Basically, you push the button down half way to lock the focus on an object then push it the rest of the way to take the pic. Also, most have a micro setting. It is usually represented by a tulip looking flower. It is for more detailed, close up shots.

I am not sure what you mean about the snake having a normal looking head. Miami's are normals either found in the miami area or selectively bred normals with more greyish backgrounds and bright saddles.

I can't tell on the pics because the snake's colors vary from pic to pic. Try the camera tips and post new pics. Someone else might be able to tell you better than I can, though!

not to nit-pick, but it's actually called a "macro" setting, not 'micro'. You're right that it's for close ups. Just wanted to clear that up...
