Okeetee corn snake questions?

Hey guys, from what I got when I searched it, it sounds like it's a normal just selectively bred, is this true?
I have 1.1 okeetee corn snakes and was thinking getting another female to also pair the male too. if I pair my male okeetee to a "x" female would I just get 1/2 okeetee and half "x"?
Thanks

Selectively bred normals (okeetees, miamis, etc), or individuals in a particular morph (amels- sunglow, candycane, RO for example), are like breeds of dog. If you pair a lab to a corgi, you don't get half the litter as labs and the other half as corgis. You get offspring with a range of traits, some more towards the lab end, some more towards the corgi end, and a whole bunch in the middle.

If you bred your okeetee male to a miami female, you'd probably end up with offspring with thicker than normal borders, but not as thick as the okeetee, and they wouldn't be as vibrantly colored as the okeetee. They'd look closer to the 'wild type' normal commonly called a classic. Some might be more colorful, some might be really light.

If you bred your okeetee to a morph, like an amel, you'd end up with normals het amel.
