....... numerous, smaller, elongated blotches down towrds the lower end of the snake and from experience in hatching them, it looks to me that it could be a Guttata X Emoryi.

Maybe some test breeding will help you determine.?.
Nice looking snake either way you look at it.

Interesting! I have no info on his background, only that he "came from someone/somewhere else" but I'm thinking of breeding him to my amel creamsicle next year and seeing what I get He really is pretty!

If you caught 20 corns in the Miami area, most would look exactly like that one. That's a classic locality Miami corn. Definitely doesn't have any Emory's in it.

I have caught them myself in the Miami area in the past that look exactly like yours.

Actually I have few wild miamis that look like that one. Those numerous, smaller and elongated blotches down towrds the end are vey tipically on the corns from the South tip of Dade county, but you can find a lot of variation on the patterns and colors since they are been breeding in that area with the Key corns.
