Question for Kathy Love?

I was looking at your site and the pics of your beautiful snakes and I was wondering what the difference is between a classic corn and a normal corn?
 
...I'm not Kathy...but as far as I'm informed, there is no differance in the morph its self. They are two terms for the wild type pattern/coloring of a cornsnake. Some people dont like how "normal" sounds, so they prefer to say "classic". I'm one of thoes people. I think that "normal" sounds kind of...I dont know. Dull I guess. I like the sound of classic more. :)
 
Pretty sure she uses "classics" for those that most resemble Okeetees. Otherwise, they are "normal"
 
Interesting- I never knew Kathy made that distinction. I think it's pretty safe to assume, though, that nearly everyone else considers normal and classic to be synonymous.
 
I just saw this thread - somehow missed it until now.

Yes, it is just semantics. Some people prefer one word over another. To me, "classic" has just come to mean an unusually pretty normal corn that is not a specific bloodline type, such as Okeetee or Miami. When I look at a bunch of babies (whether my own, or from friends), I will often pick out the ones I think will be the prettiest normals, label them as classics, and price them a little higher than "just normals". That helps my pet customers pick out the prettiest ones for a pet (most beginners can't really make a good guess as to which will be prettiest), and my "resale" (for shops, etc) customers to pick out the cheapest ones.

But of course, different breeders may use the terms interchangeably, or differently than I do.
 
That makes sense to me. My wild-morph corn is very pretty as long as she isn't in shed, but I've seen some very dull corns of similar size/age. Will be good to remember this if I ever buy any corns from Kathy. :D
 
:laugh: I'd love too, but I rarely see her selling yearling or adult corns, and I refuse to buy the little worms.
