What is this snake

ricorns Feb 04, 2006 05:43 PM

I finally got my new girl out of her tank for a photo session. Has anyone seen this morph before. I am wondering what her genetics might be. The colors in the photos are pretty close to what she actually is - very bright

Are the boarders around the saddles yellow or white? I've never seen a reverse okeetee with yellow around the saddles.

I was thinking of breeding it to a green snow. The shop had another snake that was supposed to be a relative of this one. It looked like a pink snow, but had the same green borders around the pink saddles - incredible looking snake. Unfortunately, they sold it while I stupidly spent a couple of days pondering the purchase. My first thought was the green snow for breeding, but since I really don't know what I am dealing with, I am open to any suggestions. Thanks!

It is bright green around the saddles. The color in the photos is pretty true to what the snake actually looks like - maybe a little bright due to the flash, but uniformly bright, not accentuating the green. Definitely not just a reverse okeetee. I was thinking maybe some outcross of a creamsicle or something else with emoryi in it.

I think yours looks a little like this snake for sale in the classifieds. They're calling it a reverse okeetee. It's really pretty though, whatever it is!
