LOL Enso!

That marking is nuts. From this photo I'd say 100% for sure normal corn. No where near miami but a beautiful buy for 30 bucks...thats a good deal IMHO. He has a super nice pattern and coloring.

Normals have black and white "checker" type pattern on belly.

I want a good clear head shot of this snake, the more I look at the snake the more I think eastern milk.

I see why you would definitly think that. But I found some pics online and I don't think Eastern Milk still. But both species are so highly variable I could be wrong.

The snake is DEFINATLY a corn, no chance its a milk. The eastern milk has a little "Y" marking on the head and this one has the "Arrowhead" shaped pattern that corns do. Looks like a nice normal

@ JD - I just mentioned that alot of eastern milks i've seen had the "Y" and that corns wouldnt have that, they would have the arrowhead, like Dozers does. So all I was stating was that it is a corn snake. Not claiming that EVERY milksnake has a "Y" shape on the head. But thanks for coming out :P lol

On the monitor I was on when I read this post, the background of the snake DID look grey. Now I'd have to agree with the consensus. VERY nice normal.

I'd say that is a normal
maybe with a very clean pattern or just that it's het for something like banded or something like that.
Either way getting that corn for $30 is a steal! I would definately put my hands on it if I have seen it for sale......darn!
