Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hmmmmm, the Okeetee cornsnake image at the top of the forum caught my eye this morning because it looked very familiar. Then, I saw it was a photo by "Mike H." Seems like that female is now in my collection, which makes since because she WAS owned by Mike Heinrich before I got her......lol. Small world, huh?

Anyway, here are a few more shots of her for anyone that might be interested. The other two in the bloodline from Mike are the same colors, but have a LOT of "zigzag" pattern in them. Cool snakes!

I have noticed her pic at the top of the forum. She's looking very good.

Those are some great looking shots, alot of the typical shots you see of people holding their snakes out as far as they can reach so they can get a shot while holding it, gets sort of old, I like shots of them coiled up in more natural positions and settings....know what I mean?..............................Doug

I'm in your boat. Sometimes all you can get are hands or cage shots. I DO find "habitat" images for appealing, though, and I CERTAINLY respect those that put the effort into taking them. It is a lot more trouble to get an outside shot than to just slide open a cage and take an image.

I was drugged to sleep yesterday from some dental surgery, so my wife ran out and took those for me to post once I woke up late yesterday evening. She deserves ALL of the credit for those.

The below one is an F1 Jasper County "Okeetee" from a endocrinology study I was involved with in the late '90's.

Thanks. If anyone is interested, I'll try to get images of the other female that's pretty zigzag and the male that's REALLY zigzag and post them this evening. I bought that trio for their patterns. The colors were just lagnaippe.

Please do post more pix.I love all okeetees!! Jeff

Sure. I went to take images, but the male and the female are both bluer than 9 kinds of heck. I'll try to take some in a few days when they both shed. The male should in ~2 days, and I'm more anxious for him to shed than he is....lol.

Hey Mike:

Is that the other female I've got that was yours? I know she looks similar, but I'd need to compare the blotches to be sure. Since it is still dark-thirty here this morning, I'm not up to going out to the snake building and pulling her out right now. I was there until too late last night, anyway!

No, that one is from a pair that I gave to Carol.
