Adult Okeetees B&W Ventrum; no bleeding

Dan_W Mar 31, 2009 04:41 AM

Does such an animal exist? I've seen some incredible adult Okeetees with vivid and even saddle and background colors, perfect saddle symmetry, etc. When they're flipped over however, all I've seen have orange/rust bleeding in what was at one time an immaculate brilliant white and black checkered belly.

Does anyone produce EXTREME EXTREME Okeetees?

Thanks!

Dan

Our okeetees have absolutely pristine black and white bellies, but only in the anterior half or so of the belly-I've never seen an okeetee that doesn't get a bit of orange bleeding onto the posterior ventrals....

The only "okeetees" that I've seen that fit that description were for the most part,just pretty corns sold as okeetees,this is just my opinion tho.The nicest I've seen personally always have some red bleeding onto the underside. Jeff

I second that! All my Okeetees bleed in as they get older, at least in the back half of their bellies.

And wow, that is a GORGEOUS Okeetee! When you produce some like that, let me know...LOL!

That's one fine-looking snake, Jeff!
