Sorry to hear that you lost the male. Unfortunately, these things happen. 
The snake in the picture looks like a hatchling to me. It's definitely not a reverse okeetee, which would have pink eyes and fairly wide white outlines around the red blotches on the back. I'm not certain what it is. At first, I thought a normal, but the ground color is too light. Possibly it's a Miami phase.
A blizzard is amelanistic and charcoal. Both of those mutants are recessive to the normal versions of the two mutant genes. I would not cross a blizzard to the snake in the picture because some, and very likely all, of the babies would be normals, possibly with a Miami phase influence.
I'd cross a blizzard to either a blizzard or a charcoal that was het amelanistic.
blizzard X blizzard produces all blizzard babies.
blizzard x charcoal het amelanistic (AKA charcoal het blizzard) is expected to produce 1/2 blizzard 1/2 charcoal het amelanistic
Good luck.
