Hi all
I'm Ben. I have been lurking around the site for awhile now so I figured id introduce myself. I am a new owner of what I believe is a Okeetee Corn but I am not 100% sure. I will post pictures tomorrow so maybe some of you know-it-alls can help me out:)

Well.. I'm 19 and I recently joined the National Guard. I like to go 4 wheeling, camping, hiking, shooting.. you know all the fun outdoorsy stuff.

Thanks for the great site and awesome information.. I already learned a lot and plan on learning a lot more!:eatpointe
 
welcome to the forums!

you didnt say anywhere in your introduction if your had snakes/ what kind of snakes you have.

we all love pictures, so please post some soon!
 
Welcome to the joint, Ben!

Yes, post pictures... we can't get enough of them around here... of course, some of us take better pictures than others.... sigh... not me though :)
 
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! this place is awesome!
Here is a couple pictures of "Boston" sorry about the poor quality pictures.. there coming from a 20 dollar digital camera lol. This is my first snake, and like I said i believe it is an Okeetee Corn but I am no expert. maybe you guys could help me figure out what he is.. or she? lol

Welcome to the site!
Boston looks like a beautiful normal to me. (Nothing wrong with that either, normals ROCK! I have 5 of them!)
Okeetees have really thick black borders on their saddles.
Do a search and you'll see what I mean.

I would also agree that it looks more normal than Okeetee, but he is a cutie and I love his name :)
 
Thank you everyone for your help.
Are there major differences between the okeetee and normal?
I do not know too much about snakes as this is my first one and I am just curious if one is better than the other?

there are no major differences. its just that the rings around the spots (called saddles) are darker

okeetee's and normals will grow the same, eat the same, act the same, are exactly the same, just have a slightly different pattern. sorta like a dalmation with six spots and a dalmation with five spots. they are the same, just look a little different.
