No matter how many swap isles I walk down, the regular corn is still my favorite. I am the owner of an Okeetee corn snake. I was rather annoyed because I wanted a regular one, but the Okeetee was the closest I could find. It's still pretty though. Am I just crazy, or are there any other herpers out there who appreciate the vibrant beauty of a regular corn snake?

Yep I have to agree with you on this one!!! I am big on normal corns. I like the normals way better than any other morph out there. The Okeetee's and Miami's are awesome as well, and these are just another example of Mother Nature's ability to create some kick butt colors!

Here is my KY locale corn, he is a '00 and is just a little over 4'. Hope you enjoy it.

I have never seen one that orange. That looks like a SC snake!
Do happen to know what county it came from?

I got it on trade at a reptile show here in KY and the guy I got it from said it was a KY corn. Said it was just a "normal old corn from here in KY", he didnt say whether it was CB or WC, and sometimes I think the way it acts, it may have been WC.

I was kind of skeptical of it being a KY corn, but it has a low blotch count like the corns here in KY. I know that doesnt prove anything 100%.

Im now wondering even more if it is a KY corn. James Blair came over thursday and we sexed all my snakes, well turns out this corn I thought was a male, is a female!! The snake may have been WC and the guy assumed it was a male. But being a female is good news in itself.

As far as the orange coloration goes, they are pretty variable here in KY and Phil has taken some pics that pretty closely resemble this corn.

As far as being 100% certain this corn is a KY corn, would maybe do a genetics test on it. But Im not gonna pay the money it would cost to prove it is a KY corn. I dont plan on breeding it to produce offspring, so I guess it is no big deal.

I will just have to take the guys word as it being a KY corn.

I agree! I've had lots of non-snake people who see pics of my snake say what a beautiful snake it is. There are a few morphs that I think are almost as beautiful, but not quite.
