If your blizzard came from okeetee lines, then there's a higher chance the offspring will look more okeetee-ish.

It will definitely vary from hatchling to hatchling, though.
Here are a couple pics of snakes from a Sunkissed Okeetee X Blizzard pairing I did a few years ago (the nicest ones of the lot).

Yearling pics:

The same snakes as adults:

Note that even with their full coloration they're 'B' grade okeetees at best, though they are quite obviously from okeetee lines.

I beg to differ. Rodimus the snake is a female. So're Shockwave, Bombshell, Vortex, Chromia, Vector Sigma, Nightbird, Rumble, and Fireflight.
