So, most corn snake gene mutations are recessive, meaning you need to have two copies of the gene to visually express it. Your snakes may be carrying hets (and probably are!), but without knowing what they are, none of your snakes match up genetically. The okeetee is a line bred look, as well as the Miami. Red factor is incomplete dominant, so that one can potentially pass on the gene in the first generation of babies. Personally, I would look at what morph combos you like that include the genes you know your snakes have, and pick a new snake based on where you want your project to go. Or, if you don't want to add any new snakes, I would breed the pewter to the snow, since those are both two gene morphs (diffused plus charcoal and amel plus anery) to cast the widest net as far as discovering any hidden hets. They may end up sharing no hets at all and you would yield all normals from that pairing.
