Then why are you calling it a Okeetee? A true "Okeetee" is from South Carolina, so unless you collected it there, or it's decended from "Okeetee" founders, it's just a normal Cornsnake.
There are animals that have the Okeetee lable that are not true Okeetees.... - They are animals that have been bred for the Okeetee look, but are not decended from Okeetee animals............I've seen a few sell for up and over $300, but they were exceptional, with alot of work put into them to make them exceptional
Okeetee, like Eric has said is used to describe corns from the southern south carolina regions. Think it was just in name of a reserve that was down there. Basically they would be high contrast specimens with well defined black boarders around the dorsal blotches. Selective breeding etc. has produced some stunning animals and these are often very pricey.It's worth noting animals of this general description can also be found in many other areas, like florida and N. carolina. Not to mention that not every corn from the "okeetee" region is a gorgeous example of a corn, some look more ordinary and some are dull. But most captive okeetee's are beautiful examples of corns and that is what the name is associated with. Over time people just use the name to make more money or misuse it and it can be difficult to tell if a young corn will grow into a "above average looking" snake or not. Of course people will cross them also so...
all depends on the snake really.
