I just probed what was sold to me as a male snow corn. What phase is it, snow or blizzard? And I know its a female. I am looking for a male to go with this, and my 2 rev okeetee, het for snow females. Any suggestions if you we only gonna get 1 male? Or should I get 2 diff males? Thanks everyone.

my first thought would be snow but I have seen a few blizzards with that much yellow. I am just one of those that unless given some reason to disbelieve a seller I would go by what they said.
It was sold to you as a snow so I would consider it a snow.
Mistakes can be made when sexing. That can happen easily.
I would never hold that against anyone.
With more and more practice it gets harder to miss but mistakes can be made.
You have two reverse okeetee females and this snow female.
so what males?
It depends on what results you are looking for.
I would assume you have two female reverse okeetees because you like the look of reverse okeetees. For that reason I would suggest a male reverse okeetee. Obviously not all the possible offspring will express the "look" bred for in reverse okeetees but some should.
If you would like different results you would have to know if there are any traits your reverse okeetees may be het for and get a male to work towards any or all of those possibilities.
Now basically the same goes for the snow...once again I would assume you went for the snow because you like the look. To that end you could get a male snow and produce snows. If your snow is het for anything you could get a male snow with the same hets and produce snows and whatever else they may be het for.
Or you could get an anery het amel and produce anerys and snows.
or an amel het anery and produce amels and snows or maybe a normal het amel het anery and produce normals, amels, anerys and snows.
it all goes to what YOU want.

OK I missed the fact that your reverse okeetees are het anery.
They are not really het snow. Het snow would indicate they are het amel het anery which makes up a snow. They are homo amel so they would only be het anery not het amel and anery (snow).

so, knowing they are het anery you could get a male snow which would give you amels and snows but by using a snow the chances of the amels carrying the reverse okeetee "look" would probably drop.
Now you could go wit a male reverse okeetee as suggested originally but try to get one het anery. then you would produce amels and snows with a higher probability of a few of the amels carrying the reverse okeetee look.
You could also go with an anery het amel which could give you normals, amels, anerys and snows. Once again the probability of the amels carrying the desired reverse okeetee look would probably drop.
