I really don't think it is going on as much as people say.
I just haven't really seen proof of it.
Most of the dealer/breeders you find on the internet aren't asking any more then around $35.00 for okeetees so I don't see some great mark-up there.
And as far as the bigger breeders go, it could/would be a hell of a lot more costly to get caught lying then they would ever make selling normals as okeetees. Just not worth it.
More then anything, I just see every other person with a normal trying to convince themselves they bought an okeetee.
I am not saying this about the person who started this thread. All they did was ask our opinions on what they had.
I see a lot of people who buy normals, then come here and say "I bought this normal at a local store but I think it may be an okeetee, what do you think?"
When they are told it looks like a normal and was sold as a normal so it can't be called anything but a normal.
They then want to argue. "Well, it looks like a lot of other snakes I've seen posted as okeetees."
This goes on and on and happens almost every other day.
They are all normals anyway.
You can't allways go by looks.
If it was sold as a normal it is a normal.
