>>Many people tend to over-use the term "Okeetee" corn for describing classic "normal" wild-type looking animals.

>>

>> In my opinion, the term really should be reserved for animals with extreme red/orange background coloration, and deep rich red colored blotches(saddles),with exceptional examples tending to have fairly thick,to very thick well defined dark black borders surrounding the blotches. "drabar"(Jimmy) has some fabulous examples of these. If those aren't great examples, surely nothing else on the planet does!LOL

>> Also, the term "Okeetee" originated from a hunting club in Jasper, South Carolina, and is renowned for the exceptionally rich colored cornsnakes that it has on, and around the 50,000 acre area of the club.

>>

>> In any case, you have a great looking cornsnake that would probably be best described as a "buckskin" rather than an "Okeetee". They don't necessarily HAVE to come from the Jasper County area to be termed "Okeetee", as long as they truely look the part, and even then, some would argue that a term like "Okeetee Type", or "classic" corn be used, and reserve the name for animals that have lineage from the Jasper County area.

Man, I always like seeing that picture. That is a beautiful snake.
