Extreme Okeetee, Lucy
Hi all!
Been lurking for a little over a year now and only now getting around to introducing myself! Just want to say thanks to all of the established members on here for all the valuable advice. Nanci, Chip, Karl McKnight, Dolly's Mom, and a few others, you guys rock!
So my wife and I acquired a beautiful female Abbott's Okeetee!! She was hatched 07/02/15 and we picked her up at an expo on 01/02/16. Her name is Lucy and she is awesome!! Let me preface by saying we already had another Okeetee previously but sadly didn't make it. I'll cover all the sad details in a later post if anyone is interested, which may help some future snake owners. But now I'm happy to say Lucy is a great eater, and I'm sure she'd have no problem surviving in the wild! She started a little small and weighs around 58g as of this week. K, enough talk, I'm sure you guys want to see a picture already, ha ha. Hope I attached this correctly!

Beautiful Abbott's. I love Abbott's Okeetees! They are some of the prettiest normals out there. I love the name Lucy, too. It fits her well.
Welcome to the forum!

Lucy looks great! I love the first pic! Welcome to the forum too! From Plano? My sister lives there. We visited last summer and it was so hot I couldn't walk on the concrete barefoot!

Thank you! Had quite the adventure last night. I have a hide that she's usually in around feeding day. It works out great coz I don't have to put her in a separate feeding tub ( no unnecessary handling) nor do I have to worry about substrate impaction from feeding in the viv. But last night she fell out of the paper towel tube hide while striking and coiling! I just left her, so there she was in the middle of floor, chomping away!
Plano is great, but you're 100% correct. It gets so incredibly hot!! Footwear is definitely recommended during the summer, lol! And sunscreen!
