What corns are these?

[okeeteecorn]

Posted are a few pics of my corns.

(1) Can the first corn be considered an Okeetee?

(2) Is the second one really a Lavender?

Thank you.

Well as previouslt mentioned Oketee's are a locality....so if you trust your breeder yeah it could be one! LOL

I have a question on the second....can't tell form the pics, but does the Lav. have red eyes? If so I would say you got yourself a Lavender Albino.

Good looking snakes man....recent acquisitions?

Thanks, Brad! Yes, I just got these 2 corns. Both females.

Thinking of getting a male for them as a mate for the future. Anyone has suggestions as to what morph would be a good match?

Well personally I like to improve on the already good looks of a snake, I'm really interested in taking the best of the best and breeding them together hoping to turn out real screamers...even if they are just normals, I think there is a lot of untapped potential in that area of the market, a lot of people focus on morphs for the quick profit and turn around...myself I just like to bide my time and turn out snakes that cause people to gasp! LOL Hell it took me 2 years to pair up Purple Surinames....yeah I could've bred the female already but now I can breed her and be amazed...between her and the perfectly matched male the offspring should be out of this world.......sorry I got a little of topic there....anyway...it's really up to you man, what are you looking to do with them? Do you want to produce more Lavs? Do you want to produce Hets? There are just so many avenues you can take.

Not sure on the Lavender but the regular isn't even remotely close to what folks consider "Okeetee". That doesn't mean that it doesn't come from the "Okeetee" region though, but it does not have the "look". Mark

I think what Mark is trying to say is that most Oketee's have more bold patterning to them, and defined black outlines around the saddles.

this pic ...^... just a Q why is its underside yellow my g/corn aint dose that mean mine aint a g/corn ..... sweet lookin g/corns btw

[bighillreptiles]

the better looking ghost corns are usually males and can be seen from the day they hatch out from what I here you can pick out the males from look alone .thanks for the kind words and most corns get there yellow after they are 6 months old or older

[gonesnakee]

Whether they get any yellow or not depends on the type of anery they are A or B. Don't quote me as I confuse the 2 all the time but I think its Anery A that gets the yellow pigments coming in later, Mark

[bighillreptiles]

Anery a is the common anery B is the charcoal that is used to make the blizzards and so on if i remember it rite
