i would say its a miami phase.... here is mine
you can tell from the pics they were taken at different times so the coloring is a bit different.

nice corn!whats the differnce between a miami and a normal?

Here is a Picture of my Miami phase

-----
0.1 Miami Phase Corn
1.0 Normal Corn
0.1 Standard Ball Python
0.0.1 Legless Lizard
1.1 Lepored Geckos
0.2 Green Iguanas
0.1 Blue Stripe Iguana
0.0.1 Blue Tounge Skink

Here is a picture of what I belive is a Miami corn snake . Excuse my poor camera skills and messy background .

a normal corn has a orange colored back ground with the red saddles..... a miami has gray or tannish back ground with red saddles....... atleast thats what i have understood from when i got mine.

A good Miami phase has a grey or silverish background. I love these guys and hope to get a pair myself as soon as I can move some of my other stuff out. Mr. Soderberg has some really nice Miami's and I think thats who I will be purchasing from.

Miami cornsnakes ARE normals, but normals with a particular look. Specifically, they have light grey or sometimes tan background and red or red-orange saddles. Carol's pic is a good example of an ideal miami.

Corns with bright orange backgrounds or corns whose backgrounds are roughly the same color as the saddles do not count as miamis. Unless you know what the parents of a snake look like, it's hard to judge whether a given hatchling will wind up with Miami coloration or not. After the snake is a year or so old, a good guess can be made.

I cannot believe that there was so little interest in them I wholesaled many to some California and TX guys.

damn miami phase is nice..
how can u breed a miami phase?

I started with wc and f1 snakes collected years ago.
Some "make their own" by selectively breeding for the light gray/silver ground color and maroon saddles with black borders, etc. but in my opinion none are like the wild ones.
If you have Tenant's book, Snakes of Florida, the father to the one I posted is in there on a tree branch. He belonged to Len Krysko.

I might be heading down to the Miami area and maybe even the Keys this up comming season, I am going to look for ratsnakes while I am down there and I hope to find a few of the 'True Miamis' that may still be around.
