This snake demonstrates more than one point of interest. 1. Such connected markings (mismarks) as seen in several places are common among most captive Okeetees and I’ve even seen it in wild-caught Okeetees. Perhaps more than half of all Okeetees in captivity exhibit at least one such mismark. 2. This one is, of course, a Banded Okeetee, but also 3. demonstrates the ventro-lateral carotenoid yellow that is most obvious in virtually all Anery-type corns. They show none of such yellow as neonates, but exhibit the yellow increasingly through maturity, never ceasing to increase yellow volume for the remainder of their lives, since it is the result of retained corotenoids in their diet.
