It is a fine photo. My question was more refering to the fact that okeetees are known for their bold black borders. So if you take away the bold borders (hypo) can you still really call it an okeetee?

I am still in the learning process when it comes to the genetics…so I will try to explain it the best I can.

It’s a hypomelanistic trait, Type "B" Hypomelanistic - a hypo-like trait--, which looks similar to but is not compatible with the ‘standard’ hypo gene. In the hypo Okeetee "Sunkissed" the black rings around the saddles are pretty much the same, but they are faded or washed out.

Congrats on all of your new eggs....hope you get alot of cool looking babies....
What do you use for your snakes to lay in? My Blizzard is getting very close to laying and I have a nest box in with her but it's only big enough to fit maybe two of her in, Is it big enough?

I use these containers made by Sterlite.
And I cut a hole about 2 inches in the lid.
