The more I look at it the more I think it is a T negative and not a Jelly. What is hard to explain is the color of the scales are different. The lighting you took that pic in really yellowed up everything and it is hard to see it true color.. But the eyes are darker than normal, which is the confusing part.

Here is a T neg I produced in 2010 which may or may not look similar. In any case the link is a good read from back then:

Here is a close up of him........yeah the lighting in the kitchen did make his yellow look like bright lemon color... :-D

That is an amelanistic T- not a amelanistic/hypomelanistic intermediate aka "jelly"

He looks more like that now for sure......he has changed so much from when he was a hatchling. Bluerosy wasn't exactly sure what he was when he hatched out and a white jelly was the closest thing he looked liked to him, as i'm sure he will reply in a post.......he can tell you about all the different morphs he may be het for. I also got an axanthic female from the same clutch and I am really looking forward to see what the offspring will be.

Yes he is definite het for axanthic and hypo.. which means you can breed him to a Jelly from that line or a alabaster or anything with Peanut butter, Jelly and T neg to make the triple homos.

He has changed a lit since he was a baby and like Zenny said he is a T neg.. The lighting in the house is not great to take pics though.. best to take pics outside on an overcast day or shade to see the true colors.

The other snake you posted on a thread below is a true hybino (t negaite x hypo) and looks quite a but different. That on is solid white with yellow bands. I think when Zennty refers to a hypo he means peanut butter x t neg and that would be a jelly..

The snake you just posted in this thread did look Jelly as a baby but as I told you i was not sure if it was a jelly or a t neg..it was different as a baby. As you know the snake changed and the eyes also had more pigment before.

Here is another that had me confused for a while.. Maybe Zenny would like to guess what this one is:
