Hmmmm...those are clearly Abbott's. Unless you know who you bought them from, you wont be able to tell 100% whos line it is.

Also, its an okeetee "phase". Though okeetees are considered to have some of the boldest and brightest patterns, some okeetees caught at the hunting club are butt ugly, hence the "phase" mentioned in an earlier thread. That male isn't a hypo, though the head pattern has hypo characteristics.

Offspring should be interesting though. If its a genetically passed trait you might be able to, with time, selectively breed that trait to decrease the black eventually yielding a hypomelanistic okeetee/Abbott's. It wouldn't be an okeetee "phase", but of okeetee lineage.

Nice snakes though. Hope you wind up with some babies soon.
