first snake/reptile

[xgrafcorex]

after keeping ts for just under a year now..i finally got my first herp...a baby oketee corn snake. eventually i'd like to get a chondro, but for now, i'll just watch this little guy/girl (not sure) grow up.

she is beautiful, snakes are incredible to keep as well, I currently have a Corn, Cali. King and about 3 weeks ago added a year old boa to my collection.

Nice looking corn, Brian. I think the Okeetee morph is about the best looking out there.

 

[Midnightrdr456]

yea that color morph is stunning, im not sure what kind i have b/c ive had it for 8 years and wasnt really knowlegable, just bought it at a pet store (i was young forgive me) and it was just labeled corn snake. But this is what it looks like.

Anyone know what kind it is?

Anyone know what kind it is?

I think that's also an Okeetee.

The light ruins the colors, you can't say it's an Okeetee morph. It's propably just the normal one. Besides I would'nt expect to find an Okeetee morph in a petstore 8 years ago. If it was an Okeetee morph from a petstore 8 years ago I think you would know for sure. Also the price would have been something else for sure.

Gorgeous corn! Super pretty color form :worship:
My first herp was an albino kingsnake when I was like 8...my brother fed it for me but I handled her like a pro ;-) She was exceptionally sweet though hehe.

thanks bugs...

well i finally handled this little one for the first time. it wasn't too thrilled about it at first..but once it was up off the ground, it seemed to relax a bit more.

Looks more like a miami phase (because of the greyish tan background color to me than an okatee but maybe the colors will change as it grows in either cases its a beautiful snake

Normal

It looks nice! I remember my first corn. Nippy nippy thing it was . It's calmed down quite a bit and is not quite 3 feet yet. She's a normal. But I also have a little yearling ghost. One time I walked into my room to see her on the floor *gasp*.

The colors will change as it gets older. It's just a normal corn.

Miami, as well as Okeetee are localities. Well true ones are. Now it's more of a "look,"as a corn breeder friend said. I'd say Midnightrdr's is also normal. A very pretty one. Okeetees usually have bolder lines around the "saddles."

Just my $0.02! What ever either of them are they are pretty. Here are my 2:

Note: The last pic, she would not get off my hand and into the bowl. So I just fed her on my arm. No harm done! She's just a wee bit clingy.

well, since my last post, my okeetee has had its first shed

here it is relaxing afterwards

last but certainly not least, i picked up this little anery at a reptile show a few weekends ago. my roommate says its the sweetest snake shes ever held. no biting, no hissing, or anything like that. (i wish i could say the same for the other one...its a bit more fiesty.)
