Question: I have an anery female and an okeetee male, they produced babies last year which looked all within the range of "normal" (I won't know until they are a little older of course what they will look like). Some had more of a grey background color kinda like mama. (mama by the way has produced snow, amel, and anery when I bred her to a different "normal" male who must be het for albino genes)
I kept a male and a female baby... if those two were to breed in the future, what would I probably get?
Thanks for the education,
Janel

here's a pic of one of the babies (mama was anery and pap was okeetee)

"I kept a male and a female baby... if those two were to breed in the future, what would I probably get?"

You have a male and a female that are both het for anery, and 50% possibly het for amel as well (assuming your "okeetee" male has no hidden hets). That being the case, and assuming all possible hets listed as being present, then you should be able to produce:

Normals
Amels
Aneries
and
Snows

Hope that helps...

where does the reverse okeetee come from?

A "reverse okeetee" is merely an amel (that may or may not have any real okeetee lineage behind it) that has orange ground color, deep red saddles, and wide white borders around the saddles.

It is the result of line breeding over several generations. Breeding an animal called an okeetee because of its looks alone (a "lookeetee" if you will), to an amel, and then crossing the resulting generation will give you some amels. Of those amels produced, a certain percentage of them will inherit some of the lookeetee characteristics, thereby creating the reverse okeetee (amel okeetee) effect.
