extreme Okeetee corn snake

[CRIKEY1]

This is my 2 year old female extreme Okeetee corn snake named Kidani. She's 3.5 feet of gorgeous. :lol:
Thanks for looking!

She looks good. What makes it an extreme? Also, what kind of enclosure is that? Looks pretty good.

Cheers dannydee! Originally Okeetees were a locality line from the Okeetee hunt club in South Carolina. Famous for the black borders around the reddish saddles. Then in the 1980's Lee Abbott started to selectively breeding the ones with the thickest black borders, known as Abbott's Okeetees. Today, a few well known breeders are competing with Lee. So at this time, they are called "Extreme" if Lee didn't breed them. For a normal, they are very popular. One of the things I love about my girl, is that her saddles wrap around like bands. The enclosure is a 36 inch Neodesha. It's plastic with a sliding glass front.

Because the internet is stupid, I should clarify, I meant "here" as in Australia, not "here" as in APS.

The Okeetees are definitely the best looking corns going in my opinion. I used to have a few myself a good few years ago. I would still have them, had I not went overseas. This is the first I've heard about the extremes. Thanks for explaining for me.

Have corns been a problem in Australia?

It's just people have them illegally in Australia and let them go when it reaches full length or they cant be bothered with it anymore. So they are a problem but not there fault if you get what I mean?

 

[shabbyy]

Very nice looking

Oh and I can see Spongebob and Patrick enjoying it in the substrate

justdragons - Being called a cracker in the states means something else. LOL! Thanks I think. She's chill & puppy dog tame. Great with my kids. She never turns down a meal. As far as my childreni, I chose a childreni because I heard they were like that too. I've only had him for almost a month. So far so good.

BlackHeaded92- That reminds me of our python problem in Florida. It's not the snake's fault.

dannydee - I agree. Out of all the cool designer morphs these days, Okeetees are my favorite. Can you have them in the UK?

 

[treeofgreen]

looks awesome CRIKEY1! Colours look that vibrant it looks like a gloss painted toy lol

 

[dannydee]

Hey CRIKEY1,

Yeah we can have them in the UK, they're very popular. It's all morphs now, which I am not so keen on. Some of them look ok, but I'm a purest at heart.

 

[Variety]

As expected, clicking on this post made me so frustrated that i cant have it lol. Australian snakes are beautiful but its only natural to want the extreme morphs that the states are blessed with.

 

[Justdragons]

Lol whoops. Kind of reminds me of a thread where crocdoc said he won't wear thongs around his Lacey anymore cause he doesn't want to lose a toe and a American piped up and said if I was wearing a thong around my Lacey I'd be more worried about losing something else lol.
