Wild Caught, Miami Phase perhaps?

Actually cornsnakes are found in the south eastern US - GA, AL, FL, SC, up to NJ even. However, they aren't all across the US. Rat snakes can be found across, but not corns specifically.

And I don't think that's a corn in the OP. It does look more like a kingsnake of some sort.

I'm no expert, but it looks like a corn snake to me - and very cute! :) However, after googling eastern milk snake, I definitely see the resemblance: http://www.mcwetboy.com/articles/images/2snakes1.jpg

As for being a Miami Phase? It does have the gray background color, but the saddles look too dark. I have a young Miami phase, and she is much more orange/red...

Its a corn or I'm bugs bunny...:rofl:

Sorry if I'm not supposed to post other sites, but you should show that picture on cornsnakes.com... I post on there regularly, and they have plenty of "experts" who could identify it for ya. ;)

Definitely a Miami Corn. I have a pair about the same size as that one! Great find too!

A close up picture of the head will clear this matter quickly. I'm leaning towards an E Milk.

Looking at the pics more closely, I agree with Jim. Definitely not a corn - looks like eastern milk snake - or some other snake.

Definately and Eastern Milk. You can tell by the head. Corns have a very distinctive head while milk's heads kind of just follow with the rest of the body and aren't as distinctive. Still pretty though. Is it eating for you? Easterns have a rep of being picky feeders, espeially wild caught ones.

It's an Eastern Milk.
Nobody argues after they type it in google!

There are a lot of snake's that resemble Corn's as juveniles... Eastern milks, Prairie kings,Gophers & Bulls and Most Ratsnake babies...It's just a common look In the good Ol' USA

Yes lets have more pictures of the animal so we can put this to rest and I can go back to eating meat..:rofl:
