A Reverse Okeetee is a "Wide-Bordered Amel".

A Sunglow is a "No-Bordered Amel".

Therefore, breeding Amel to Amel will produce all Amel. Breeding wide borders to no borders will probably produce some borders but not particularly wide ones... so you'll get normal-ish Amels.

And your female appears to have dark pigment in the borders - what colour are the pupils of her eyes?

That last picture is definitely a normal or hypo. But a RO bred to a sunglow would give you regular amels. Sunglows and RO's are just linebred amels. There's no genetic difference between them.

A reverse okeetee (RO) is a selectively bred amel. It is selected for it's thick white borders (in essence the "reverse" of an okeetee which has thick black borders).

The 2nd snake you posted appears to be a normal, maybe a hypo.

If you want to breed and make RO hatchlings your best bet is to breed an RO to an RO. Because it is a selectively bred trait...breeding an RO to a non-RO has the possiblity of producing less than acceptable RO traits.

thanks guys ill have to take a look at her eyes when i get off work but ill get back to you on that

so amelXamel will just make amels? there is no super form of amel or anything? like in ball pythons

and the last pic is a hypo!? are you positive? what would a hypo to an RO make?

ill put a better pic of the "hypo" up later tonight and an eye pic too

thanks again guys

any more opinions from anybody?

Hypo x amel = normals het hypo, amel. And yes, there is no super form of amel. There's no super form for anything recessive. The reason some BP and boa morphs have super forms is because they're co-dominant.

idk why the pic is like that on the last one but she is actually really yellow... soooo.....idk ill post new pics tonight

I was actually looking at the eye color.

First one is a great example of an RO, but the female you posted is definitely NOT an amel, but is either a light normal or a hypo.

 

[ReverseAlbinoOkeetee]

yea i will post a better pic of that female tonight seeing as how there is some what of a dispute and i want a positive ID if possible

producing RO's

You could get RO's from RO x sunglow, from RO x plain amel, and even from plain amel x plain amel.

However, I do think you would improve your chances of getting RO's by breeding RO x RO, especially if the male and female are both from the same line (close relatives).
