Nice amel. Wouldn't doubt if it was advertised as a "reverse okeetee". Nice wide white borders.

Enjoy it!

Yours is an amelanistic (amel), but more specifically, because of its nice wide white borders it would be considered either an albino okeetee (Kathy Love's name for this type) or a Reverse Okeetee (Don Soderberg's name for this type). This is because it is considered the reverse or albino of the okeetee which has wide black borders around its saddles. But it is an amel for general classification. Just like the sunglow and candy cane's are amels but are called such because of their specific look as in sunglow's have no white borders at all and candy cane's have red/orange saddles with as close to an all white body a possible.
Yours is a very nice reverse okeetee (or an albino okeetee if you prefer)It aught to be a real pretty one as an adult.
