Is this a miami?

These are the best pictures I could get of him because he is so hyper. He is the sweetest thing though really. If anyone can identify the morph it would be much appreciated. The closest thing I came to was miami phase. Any other opinions?

No, that is a Classic/Normal.
See the orange in between the saddles? Miami's don't have that.
Here's a Miami hatchling (Maia-from Carol-LBR)
Her ground color is all grey.
All of the classics are some of my favorite morphs. :)

The orange is pretty vivid around the head and neck but does fade to virtually nothing further down the snake, as you can see in this picture. Do you still think it's a classic?

yep...sure do...normal/classic
 
Looks like she's still a youngster, so you can probably expect that orange in the background to come through even more over the next year.

That's a rather lovely Normal.
 
Like said above, it's a classic corn/normal. Most baby corns- even okeetee corns start out looking like that. The orange dorsal stripe towards the front end of the snake slowley (over the first 8+ months) fades/bleeds into the background coloration. As you get more into keeping cornsnakes you'll notice that with most baby corns. It's amazing the change baby corns go through with their color developement.


When you purchased the baby corn WHAT DID THE SELLER/STORE/ETC tell you it was (or what was the corn labeled)? Usually the best source for genetic background information is from the seller/breeder....
 
im no expert but it looks like a normal with the diffused gene. mine looks very simular so i looked it up and noticed she looked different from alot of the normals ive seen. i went to a cornsnake genetics website and found piks of a diffused normal corn. try to google it and compare yours.

If there are belly checks, it isn't diffuse. And like the others, I believe it is a nice normal as there is too much orange in the ground color already for it to be a Miami phase.
 
You can't always rely on the breeder/seller to label Miamis and Okeetees correctly, either. Many will label them as such because that sells snakes.

Very true. Most well known breeders are very reputable, but there are some that either don't know the difference, or intentionally sell snakes mislabled to get them to sell.
I know someone who insists that she has a Miami, when I have pointed out the orange in the ground color, & said it's not a Miami. She still believes she has a Miami. *shrugs*
