anery Okeetees wanted

Not an easy project as the typical anery coloration makes it difficult to distinguish the saddle bands from the saddle in many adults and new hatchlings. There tends to only be that adolescent stage where the saddle color lightens up to make the saddle bands stand out. You may have better luck trying for ghost Okeetees as the wide saddle bands will possibly stay visible in most specimens.

These would just be a start at an anery/ghost Okeetee project, needing out-crossing to nice Abbott's, but this '10 ghost female (1st photo) and '08 male anery (he was born looking like a typical anery but lightened up to this after 2-3 sheds) give you an idea what the project might look like in hatchlings. With luck, I can let you know if the ghost's saddle bands stay distinct when she reaches maturity (I lost the male soon after that photo was taken).

Oh Susan, my condolences for your loss, what a pretty boy!! After seeing him and also looking at a few of your Anery and Anery Mot adults I just may have to snag one from you next season!

Ok, back on topic, to the OP, if you're looking for a grey/white snake with large borders to add to your collection, I'd contact Don and SMR. Here's a link to a "Charcoal Okeetee" that a member here just got. The thread contains a link to Don's page as well.

If you're looking to create something from scratch.. well.. good luck line breeding!
 
If you are looking for an anery with borders darker/distinct from the saddle the Debakey line might be what you should shoot for. Most of the ones I have seen were in ghost and phantom animals but you could simply remove the hypo to get what your seeking. The Debakey anery corns I've seen are really interestingly patterned and dark.

I have a few anerys with very thick saddle borders
they are not, to my knowledge, ever been bred to or produced out of true Okeetee stock,
but they do very resemble an okee in pattern. Both genders, 2010s, het for amel & champagne. I am not certain if they are anery A or B; some have considerably less yellow on their sides than others. Are you looking for the "look" of an anery Okee, or do you have specific project underway? (no need to divulge what specific project is).
Their mother double clutched and I have a few extras that need a home.
