Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Ya know, Kathy Love herself says she prefers Okeetees to any other colour/pattern morph - the natural colours are so bold and vivid...

In the meantime, here's a close-up!

Awesome snake! I just bought an okeetee baby and should receive him in less than three week. I was warned that they can sometimes have a bit of an attitude and some don't grow out of it. Any experiences?

Your photo makes me even more anxious about having an okee!!

I have an absolute bugger of a male okeetee.... he needs to chill out but I don't know if I feeling like investing the time in "taming" him. :D

Is it really worth being bitten by him dozens of times just to be able to casually handle him? I've got lots of other snakes that won't bite me... lol :)
