If I was trying to sell your snake I would not call it an "Okeetee" as it doesn't fit what most people think an "Okeetee" is suppose to look like. Since I really like the way it looks I would probably sell it as a very good looking normal. Earlier this year I sold an Abbott strain Okeetee (came from good stock, etc., etc.) that just did not measure up. If you had seen it you would have said no way is that an Abbott Okeetee. It was still a beautiful specimen. I had a choice of selling it as an Abbott and then arguing about whether or not it was one, selling it as an excellent normal, or selling it as an inferior Abbott that just didn't make it. That is the problem with common names. Personally I don't care what they are called when I like the color, pattern, etc. But I feel I must be honest as I sell an individual. Bottom line--whatever you call your corn I think it looks good. Would I breed it to an "acceptable" "Okeetee" or not???? Who knows!!! That's my $.02.
