ABOUT THIS SPECIES

Corn snakes are North American colubrids known for being alert, food-motivated and active in a well-furnished setup with plenty of hides and climbing. The Okeetee look is all about contrast: rich orange/red saddles framed by bold dark edging.

Tessera adds a cleaner, more linear patterning along the back, giving a “striped/maze” effect that really stands out as the snake grows.

This animal is listed as “66% possible het Pied” as provided useful information for future breeding plans, but it won’t change day-to-day care.

Expect a hardy species that benefits from a proper thermal gradient, consistent access to fresh water, and a habitat that lets it choose between cover, height, and warmer/cooler zones.
