He hides ALL THE TIME. *pouts* lol! I love my little guy, but I NEVER see him in the tank. The only way I get to see him is if I disturb him in the hide to take him out (which he pays me back by crapping on me). I hate to bother him, but he just NEVER comes out of hiding. If I wait until he comes out to handle him... well, it would never happen. I left him alone ALL week last week because of the feed schedule followed by the immediate shedding process. Did he come out? NOOOOOO.
I love the little guy, but my Max is a hider. *sigh*
*resumes active snake envy* lol

Good grief!
I tried to complement someone’s snakes and it stirred up a hornets nest. Hatchling Okeetees do not look anything like the adults. Neither do hatching normal corns. They are born, basically different shades of brown, brown/orange or brown/red and the gradually change into their adult colors as they grow.
Nobody can really tell a Normal hatchling from an Okeetee hatchling when they are born without knowing the parents they came from. I assume that the breeder of your hatchling Okeetee produced them from adult Okeetees and that is why he/she sold it as an Okeetee. There are many different definitions of Okeetee, but for argument sakes lets say it is an Okeetee Phase Corn Snake.
Here is a photo of two Okeetees at a few months old. The one that has more orange on it is from my wild caught Okeetee phase corns from Jasper Co. that my Lava Hypos came from. The darker one is a Hunt Club Okeetee and is a very nice example of an Red Phase Okeetee now that it is one year of age. The photo of the single adult Okeetee is from the wild caught line that my Lava Hypos came from. They are very red/orange as adults with very little contrast. The other photos is of a Kathy Love Okeetee being bred by a Lava Okeetee. I saved this entire clutch, because it is an out crossed breeding from Okeetees that have their linage back to wild caught snakes form Jasper Co and they are het for Lava. Indy looks similar to the entire clutch at this stage in their lifes.
