More Morph Identities

[Amaya K]

I hate to do it, since I'm sure it's simple enough to spot, but I need help identifying this corn morph. He's an adult, and the pic is literally just after he shed (you can still see the shed in his tank lol i ran for a camera fast). I tried so hard to find out for myself but google and "morph guides" are so less than helpful, since there are just SO MANY morphs of corn snakes. For all I know, he could just be a high-red normal.

So here he is, I can take more pics if you need it, let me know, thanks in advance

Looks like a normal from that picture. Can you get us a belly picture, and may a nice up-close and in-focus shot of his pattern in some bright light?

Some would call it Buck Skin or even Miami Phase. Just a different color phase of a normal corn snake its pretty common in the wild.

A few more shots would help.

There is no way that snake would ever be called a miami-phase. Miamis are red-orange saddles on a white to steel gray background. It's also not tan enough to be called a buckskin, which is also pretty much tied to a line of okeetees, of which this animal is also not.

Buckskin is in no way limited to just Okeetee's. Corn snakes vary greatly in the wild. "buckskin" corns can be found through out their range.
This also go's for the Miami phase. not every corn snake you find in the Miami-Dade County area are those Grade A+ Miami Phase that has been line bread for those particular traits you mentioned.

Like I said better pics would help.

That's why it's called Miami-phase and not Miami-locality. A miami-phase is a specific look, the one I detailed, the one Carol at LBR is world-famous for. Locality Miamis can vary quite a bit. But when you say 'miami', most people are going to think phase, not locality, and without history you can't call the OPs snake a locality miami, because snakes that look like the OP's can be found throughout the corn snake range.

You can have locality okeetees that are bland, but an okeetee-PHASE is known for the thick borders and typically the bright colors. I also nowhere said that buckskin is *limited* to okeetees, just that it's pretty much tied to a line of okeetee-phase animals. Most people who hear 'buckskin' related to a corn snake are going to think 'buckskin okeetee'.
