Our male okeetee and female amel/reverse okeetee mated and I'm wondering what I can expect as far as the babies... she laid six eggs last week and I'm so excited.

It really depends on what genes your snakes are carrying. If there are no hidden genes (if the parents are not heterozygous for genes common between the two) you would get all normal looking snakes het for amelanism. The strongest possibility would be that the Okeetee is het for amel, you could get 1/2 amels and 1/2 normal.
Those eggs look a bit dried out, they should be rehydrated as soon as possible.
Good luck!
