It looks to me like a normal. Okeetee has very thick borders in black and very red saddles. Well, the saddles are not that red and it lacks almost all black. It could be a hypo but I doubt it because I see black pigment (the slight striping) comming up.

Yep looks like a normal corn with slightly reduced black on the saddles. Def not an Okeetee.
Happy herping

How many differant levels of "Oketee" and "normal" are there? I have seen what people call normal from almost brown saddles to bright red saddles and Oketees on many many sites that vary in redness also. Just wondering.

I really would not know. This is my Okeetee female at 12 months. Here colors are quite red. I quess when they are more brownish they are just ugly Okeetees. The thick black borders is what is mostly remarkable on Okeetees.

Once again tyvm for the reply, and yes yours is one of the much better Oketees I have seen, very pretty. I actually just went looking through the sites again and found they vary a lot. I would much rather have one of yours though lol. ty again. Mike

It looks like it's definetly hypo or amel, but it also seems hyperxanthic - more yellow than usual. i would try breeding it to a snow, then backcrossing its young to it, you could probably get some nice, bright yellow snows.
