This is KEIKO, my 1st corn, my 1st snake, my 1st reptile lol. I got her from petco. I'm new to patterns and stuff so can you tell me what she is. These are from when she 1st came home. She's shed since then and she's darker/brighter. Ill post those next. (How often do they shed?)
These are posted from my sidekick lx so I'm not sure how good these will look or post. Thanks.

The best way to get her out of that habit is to not react to the bites. If you jump, or put her down, you've reinforced that the behaviour results in something the snake desires.
 
Baby snakes can be nippy, as they perceive that everything is trying to eat them. Just don't be afraid to pick her up, even if she strikes. She *should* eventually grow out of that. Some snakes never do.
 
I agree with Danielle! It's hard to see though, but it looks like there is some nice thick white boarders around some of those saddles. It could be an Reversed Okeetee. Which is an Amel, just bread to express a certain trait.

Better pics would clarify if it's an RO or an Amel.

My guess is amelanistic. Very pretty. <3

You can't sex corn snakes 100% just by looking at them, you'd have to probe them or "pop" them to know for sure. Both of which should be done by a professional.

But you can look at the tail and get a general guess.

Here is a little visual aid:
