my guess would be normal or reverse okeetee. Don;t worry there are ppl here with MUCH MUCH more knowledge than me and are much better at identifying snakes than I am so you should have a definitive answer shortly.

Nice looking snake u got there :)
 
Looks like an amel, plain and simple. I wouldn't say reverse okeetee because, at least to me, it doesn't seem to have very distinct white borders. Last summer I hatched out 14 amels and they look more or less like that one and the parents were amels and normals.
 
Looks like an amel to me. For those of you posting that it looks like a reverse oketee, do reverse oketees have red eyes?

Yes, amel corns have pink eyes...

(I say pink because normals have orange eyes and some individuals of certain morphs (ghosts and lavenders I believe) have ruby red eyes.:))

All reverse Okeetees are amelanistic. They are named as such because Okeetees are known (among other things) for their thick black borders and bright orange background color. A Reverse Okeetee has a bright orange background and thick white borders.

Pumpkin is obviously amelanistic, but IMO it doesn't have a bright/solid enough orange background to be called a Reverse Okeetee.

Thanks Everyone....

Thank you all for your fast replies.I was thinking she/he was an Amel but since Pumpkin is my first I didn't want to guess wrong.I had been meaning to take Pumpkin over to this man Tim Curran who has a shop about 5 mins. from me but this week has turned out to busy here with my youngest son's surgery Thursday haven't found the time to get over there yet.Maybe when hubby and I go for Pumpkin's pinkies I'll take her a long for the ride.Again thanks everyone.
