Curious - is she a lava?

I figured my snake was a normal 'ol corn after I realized there was no way she was from a 'candycane x bubblegum snow' as I had been told! However, I saw a picture of a lava cornsnake on kingsnake that looked almost exactly like my snake, so I was curious!

These photos are from two different times in two different lights. If you need any other additional photos, lemme know :)

I didn't get any decent belly shots, but you can see a smidge of it here, it's pretty normally checkered!
 
Nope. Not a lava. She doesn't have the typical "purple" borders, and doesn't appear to have any hypo influence at all.

Clearly, one of the parents of this snake was NOT as listed.

There is nothing wrong with a lovely classic corn snake and everyone loves their very first snake no matter what the morph! Mine was a wild-caught normal and I wouldn't have traded her for the world!

But, yes, it is "buyer beware" in this hobby/business as it is in any other. Another prefect example is that you see someone selling a cornsnake that looks exactly like yours as a lava. I would be very leery of that deal without seeing the snake myself. That's why you check the BOI on FaunaCalssifieds before any deal, and in an instance like yours, educate yourself first and look at what you're getting before you buy.
 
I have a normal that looks almost exactly like yours... everyone thinks she's the prettiest one in my collection!

Well thank God the snake is with you now, not a bunch of crackheads!! My favorite sweetest best friendliest corn out of my 60 is a normal...
 
Yeah, I hate to disappoint, but most definitely not a lava. Lava's have a very milky, translucent hypo look to their blotch saddle borders, and also have ruby-red eyes.

Like the other's have said, it looks to be a very classic normal corn. Still very nice though and will make a fine captive.

Beautiful Normal, you lucked out. Love the Normals! I have a Miami Phase and an Anery, still looking for a normal.
