this is my new corn...i think its a reverse oketee but it was sold as a creamsicle...its very nice do u think its male or female? the tail is really long and thin as it shows in the pic...its so bright and nice

When I think "Reverse Okeetee" I think of big thick white borders

Where did you buy it?

he does have thick white borders tho u just cant tell as much in the pic cuz they are bad quality...not as thick as that but it is only a yearling or so maybe a bit older...what sex do u think it is from the tail pic? im not too sure but my king snake is a male and his tail is the exact opposite, very thick to the end almost as that one is real thin...ne way thanks for the input, what do u think it is then?
i got it from a store called pet paradise kinda close to me...another store where i may be working soon has tiger ball pythons im thinking on getting one to breed with my bp soon

Looks to me like a plain ol' amelanistic, not enough white. Take another tail shot, that one is too dark, the light source is behind the snake and your hand, it needs to be in front. I find if you place the snake on a bed or carpet with tummy-side up then take the pic it works, remember to include the vent and as much as the tail as possible.

To some people, myself included, the term 'creamsicle' refers less to colouration/appearance and more to genetics/background.

Your amel could very well have emoryi blood in it. I've bred a yellow-orange 'no white' [sunglow] creamsicle to an amel with very similair colours as yours and hatched everything from yellow-orange to red-orange amels. Regardless of appearance, ALL were 75% corn and 25% emoryi and sold as 'creamsicles' to note the presence of emoryi blood.

It's possible the breeder labeled them creamsicles to signify emoryi blood in their background.

>>Nice amel though.
I also don't believe creamsicle.
