well Kin, tough question.
Let's see if I can answer it.
First let me say of all the morphs and beautiful variations in corn snakes my favorites are still the "naturals" and the "wild types".
To me the naturals (normals to most people but nothing normal about them to me) are more of the captive bred and refined corns you see in the hobby.
Some of the okeetees I have seen are the most beautiful snakes you could ever want to see. These are usually due to selective breeding and are the best examples of what we can do with patience. I am also very high on the truly wild types such as the one's Walter and I posted. The variations in true wild caught specimens is amazing. From the well known Jasper county corns to the distinct, keys and Miamis to the different look of the Alabamas. It's great.
Now, if we are going to talk morphs...Then my personal favorites would probably have to be motley creamsicles. I just like them.
I like the stripe creams as well and there so many that could be a favorite at any time but all and all motley creams top my list.
Motley being my favorite pattern.
As far as each of the snakes in my collection go and a favorite among them, my collection is still small enough that more factors can be considered then just morph.
I have a nice anery that is one of my favorites just because of his attitude when he came out of the egg. He was a fiesty little guy and acted like a little racer of something. My wife said "he's a little pistol" so he became Pistol Pete. He will always be here. He's a cool looking anery and he is as calm as ever now but just due to several factors he has become a favorite.
Zipper the okeetee pictured above is also one my favorite snakes and definitely my favorite okeetee. Attitude, eating response, looks she's just top of my list as well. Although not quite the deep black borders or as deep reds as my abbotts, she has everything I like. She has nice contrasting colors, good borders and a little bit different pattern. Some may not like this and would prefer a more symetrical pattern but to me it gives her a unique look.

Okay...So, you, like Doug, are no longer allowed to post pics of your gorgeous animals. Your snakes look great! The cinnamon is my favorite.
