. . . a beautiful and deeply colored reverse Okeetee. I used to call these "Bell" albinos. I had a line from Kim Bell that started out like this. Literally in just a few sheds, they'll look almost exactly like typical reverse Okeetees. By the time they're adults, they'll be the deepest orange animals you have and those white markings will no longer be white.

Rainwater had these on his site too. He didn't name them other than to say they were not typical albinos. He claimed they started out like oversprayed snows and ended up more typically albinos.

I'm sure that's what you have there as I still hatch one now and then and in a few months you can't tell them apart from the other albinos other than they seem to be the most intensely colored adults. Just the opposite of how they start out.
