So what's the difference? Is the Abbott's Okeetee just another locality within the locality? And do they have any definite marking differences?
Thanks,
Dennis

There are several answers you could get to this . . .
What do you mean by Okeetee? There are two answers for this:
1. Snakes from the Okeetee Hunt Club which can be bright with thick borders or just as """drab""" as any 'ole Normal corn. (Locality)
2. Snakes that have thick black borders and bright orange/red coloration regardless of locality. (Phase)
Abbott's Okeetee are named after Lee Abbott who generally produces snakes with very thick black borders and bright orange/red coloration. I'll be honest in that I'm not certain of the lineage of his lines and their relationship to the Hunt Club. I'm personally more interested in the thick black borders and bright orange/red coloration and am perfectly comfortable calling them Okeetee's.
Make sense?

^^^What Brent said. What I know is that Lee's collection originated from a Kathy Love animal, who never claimed locality in her line of Okeetees. I've sold w/c locality animals to Lee over the years, so no doubt, there is locality blood in them. Whether he has kept a locality line without outcrossing, I do not know. He posts here form time to time, so maybe he'll answer that.

Thanks guys. I hope my Abbott's Okeetee guess as nice looking as yours! Thick borders rock.

That's for sale???
I have locality okeetees and they are pure line from the Okeetee hunt club. Technically, it can't be called an okeetee unless it's from there. I'm not sure if having some Okeetee hunt club lines in there qualifies or not. I guess people are just calling them Okeetee types now. Abbotts are gorgeous though. I still prefer the real lines, melanism and all. I think this girl is every bit as beautiful as an Abbott and she is pure lines back to the original Okeetee Hunt Club animals
