Hello, Can anyone with a Hypo Okeetee Cornsnake out there either post or send me pictures of its underside? Or maybe point me to where there are on the net please? Especially the underside.

TIA!

This is from Ronda Van Winkle's web page. She has the best hypo Okeetees I've seen!
Sorry, no ventral pic. :(

Here's a link to her page:

This is Pistols belly. Sorry it's not the best shot:( She is by far my most uncooperative little girl:D She is an 01.

Looks like mine (well, the snakes anyways) except they have more white the entire length. I think the closest ID I can get on the "twins" is Leucistic Texas Rat (verified) X Hypo Okeetee. These two characters do not have as pronounced black lines surrounding the blotches as does any Okeetee pic I've seen. Thanks Again!
ps plus, they are showing yellow along the lower front areas...

If I may ask, how did you verify the snake's parents? That snake looks for all the world like a plain normal corn snake. I would've expected a 50-50 hybrid to show at least some influence of the texan's brown color or plain adult head pattern.

Well, thats my question too. The best I can do to verify is this: They were bred and born at the pet store I go to. The parents were still at the store when I bought them. The father was a "leucistic Texas Rat" And the mother was a hypo Okeetee Corn. I did not witness the union, I am going on what the pet store owner told me. I talk to him quite a bit whenever I go in there and I have no reason to believe he would make something up.
The leucistic Texas Rat snake is still in town and has crossed with a Yellow Rat snake......the babies are for sale at the same store.
