| Lovely black bands! Is he an not-so-normal-normal morph? That sounds like I'm being rude, er, I mean abbots or oketee, a normal that isn't a carolina! |

Thank you :-)
Wheels - not quite morph - Okeetees are selectively bred/ line bred. Genetically, they are just a normal corn snake - not a morph. But originally Okeetees came from one particular locality, then they selected the prettiest snakes and bred them, then selected the prettiest babies and bred them, and so on.
Have a look at Ians' vivarium, or South Mountain reptiles - extreme okeetee - it explains the line breeding business... :-)

Morphs/selective line breeding, it'll make sense one day 
I both get it and miss it entirely at the same time! I get that you can selectively breed a visual trait without manipulating genes but you cannot guarantee the result; so you could mate a candy cane with a candy cane and you'd definitely get amels because of the genes and some of them may also have the visual appearance of a candy cane because of the line breeding.....but I don't get why they have different names. For example, a boxer dog can be red, brindle or white (or reverse brindle, or...) and some are heavier set or have longer/shorter noses; the build/nose can be built on by selective line breeding but this is not then used to identify the animal, it remains <colour> boxer dog.
Ohhhh my head hurts now 
Makes no difference to a pretty snake though, that's the bit that really interests me and Twid is a very pretty snake  |
