had an English "keeper" tell me "Oh those aren't Okeetee's" in a chat room...ummmmm ok...F1 half sibs from w/c parents collected by John Albrecht inside Hunt Club property, per him...

male

female

I have an F-1 pair from that area. Mine are also from W/C parents. I also know the breeder.
Yours look like local specific Okeetee's to me and nice ones at that.

different snakes are different for everyone....i personally would classify this as an okee....personally...if i see the black borders through the tail i'd personally(and i'm a nobody) would classify them okees. just because they dont have huge black borders like abbotts okees....they're not the only kind... you should tell this guy to do better studying....
i think they are lovely!!!

They look like some Beeeautiful okeetees to me! jeff

Hunt club property? I'm assuming okeetee hunt club.Thems the real deal. Nice snakes chris.

>>Your okeetees are beautiful. And I do mean okeetees.

People just don't seem to understand that okeetees (true okeetees) with bloodlines traceable to the hunt club can have such a varied look that you can never identify all okeetees strictly by photograph.

These three are okeetees.
I got one from Don S.
The other two are Love line.
I get people telling me they are not okeetees all the time.
They are too used to seeing lookeetees.

I guess I'm not real "Okeetee" specific" when comes to locality vs. a certain look you expect, but I just couldnt turn these down. They had the look I like plus the locality background, kind of a win/win situation ...

Beautiful Okeetees btw, Jimmy
