Hey,
I know this is a stupid question :dunce: But...... I was just wondering if anyone had a pic of a "normal" cornsnakes they could post for me. I am trying to learn the names and general colors of the different types of corns. And the cornsnake I have now was given to me and i was told it was some kind of Okeetee, but then i saw someone's post w/ a pic of a "normal" corn that looks just like mine, is Okeetee the name for a "normal" corn? Or was i told wrong?
If you could help, i'd appreciate it. Thank You!!!!
The Okeetee color phase is a variation of normal. It's not a simple genetic morph, it's a look. Okeetees are typified by their brilliant saturated red saddles, yellow to bright orange background, and thick, bold black saddle (blotch) borders. They have well-defined black checkers on their bellies, which are white to orange in color.
So, to answer your question, an Okeetee is a normal, but not all normals are Okeetees. The term "normal" or "wild-type" covers a tremendous variety of looks.
I'll post a couple pictures in a bit, for samples.
Here's a normal that is NOT an okeetee. She's got nice saddle color, but her borders are indistinct, her background color isn't saturated and even, she has some white ringing her saddle borders, and her saddles aren't the big, bold saddles I associate with Okeetee. She's just a normal (who happens to be het bloodred).
This gal is an Okeetee. Her colors are awesome. I'd fault her saddle border thickness, I'd like to see thicker black, but she typifies the Okeetee color phase.
And from a little further back... Notice those big, beautiful saddles and the brilliant coloration. Like I said, the only thing I'd change to make her more Okeetee-like is to thicken those saddle borders.
Thanks for your explination, that helps a lot. I guess Spyke is an Okeetee. He looks just like the 2nd & 3rd pic just not as bright, I think he's around 3 or 4 yrs. old. Thanks again for clarifying! I appreciate it.
