Could you post a close up of Craxy? I absolutely love her colour, but she doesn't have thick enough boarders to qualitfy as Oketee, at least to me. Unless you purchased her from someone actually working with true Oketee lines.

That Craxy is really my favourite. I'd love a normal like that! Congrats on having such beautiful corns.

Thanks so much again, its so nice to get positive feedback,

Katt- I hope this picture might help? I just assumed that she was an oketee as thats what the breeder told me and due to her bright colours.

Actually a friend made and intresting comment last night. He suggested that she was a hybrid between a corn and everglades ratsnake, I trust his judgement but maybe you guys could tell? It would explain her large size and bright colors.

It would sort of ruin my breeding plans but instead of buying a new female to breed with Nicky I think Instead of spending more time with breeding and caring for hatchlings, I'd rather just enjoy the snakes I have and maybe get a few new species.


Sorry these pics aren't the greatest she just went into shed today so it wouldn't be very accurate, if these don't help after she shed I will take some more for you:)

Who did you get her from?

Incredible colour, but the borders just aren't thick enough to qualify as Oketee, but DANG, that COLOUR! Who cares about not being an Oketee.

If you were near me, I'd be trying to buy her off you.

Doesn't look like a cross at all to me. Many corns get that faint black striping, it's a normal condition, it's just that most breeders have bred it out.
