When I first got these guys I asked for morph opinions and was told that Russ was a classic and Dex was a ghost. It has been about a year and I'm getting opinions again since there has been some color changes. Dex has a lot of yellow coming in on his sides and I'm not sure if Russ is a classic or okeetee. I'm really bad with corn snake morphs and appreciate the help, thanks!

Russ (pictures in order from when he was a baby to recently.)

Still a ghost and still a classic with some partial aztec/zigzag pattern. You'll find a perfect example of an Okeetee HERE. Notice the wide black borders and the rich red and orange color everywhere else.
 
I say stick with the original assessment. When you think of an Okeetee, an older snake will be black and orange. It will remind you of a tiger. The coloring is very bold. Russ has such interesting aberrant markings, though! He is very beautiful.
 
Plus sooo many snakes get sold as "Okeetee" or "Sunglow" or whatever when they are just adding a more colorful name to make the sell...Folks who breed established lines or work with locality specific corns (be they Jasper SC locales or elsewhere) are the best bets to get an Okeetee, a "Devils Triangle" or a Charleston" ...Yours very well may be from a breeder or wholesaler who has Okeetee's and sold the clutch...but with no background on them at the store you just can't assume ;)

A Classic Normal and a Ghost...the classic has a nice zigzag to it and the ghost is coloring up pretty sweet too :)
 
I like the pattern on the classic. If you check out Ian's Vivarium it'll show you the different morphs, localities, and line breedings.
 
There's also a link to the corn calc. I haven't gone a week without playing the mating game and changing my mind on the morph of the next snake to get.
