See how there is a WHITE border around each red saddle, and then a pale orangey area in between each saddle, around the WHITE areas?

That is why *Reverse Okeetee* has come up. It is the WHITE around each individual saddle, which is from black borders, that gives it the RO look.

If there were less white around each saddle, then it would look like a standard amel. Generally speaking, the best Candy Canes have little to no borders on individual saddles, with a WHITE background color even as a wee baby. While this one looks RO-esque currently, the best baby RO's have almost COMPLETELY white saddles right out of the egg!

Adorable little one though :)

I would call it an amel. :)

Yeah it does have some borders true. Can't wait to see them mature! Never thought I would get so excited over amels. Like I mentioned before, I don't have any Amels in my collection besides these. Just never had any interest in them. I like the more natural colors better, but these got me going, lol.

Well I got three Amels from this group. The mom laid a second clutch but all look bad:( I also have several other clutches of Corns, including the Dad of these guys bred to a Hypo corn that is supposed to be het for silverqueen ghost, also Everglades Rats, and other stuff too that should hatch soon. I will have a busy year this year :) I'll post more pics of this entire clutch after they shed! Thanks for the comment.
