Is this a normal corn?

Please excuse my ignorance here, with all of the different colours out there for corn snakes, I'm having trouble telling if my newest snake is a normal! Please help me with your wisdom everyone!

He looks like the wild corns we have in West TN/NW Mississippi. Pretty snakes, and not all that common in the pet trade around here. The normal corns sold for pets tend to be more the orange base color.
 
I was thinking that he looks a bit like the Alabama locality corns... a bit of that metallic sheen on him.. He looks vry neat!!
 
Some Miami/Keys also have that grey colour pigmentation.

Very handsome snake!

Not all gray and orange corns are Miami/Keys....

The above link is an excellent representation of just the natural wild variation you can see, plus the various states (you may have to look these up Niklas as they are abbreviated). There are even some wild anerys in the mix. LOTS of Florida animals, but snakes from New Jersey, Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana, South Carolina, and other states are shown.

Georgia and Florida mix. BEAUTIFUL yellow rats in this post...or per current taxonomists "eastern ratsnakes" (Pantherophis alleghaniensis), who sunk all subspecies (yellow and everglades), split P. obsolete to western, and sunk black rat and Texas rat. :shrugs: :twohammer :-offtopic

What a great cavalcade of wild cornsnakes!
There is no opportunity to see wild cornsnakes (with natural variation) where I live.
Thanks! :cheers:
 
Thanks for the links, what a great read that was with so many beautiful snakes :) And thank you everyone for your compliments!
