Baby Corn Snake

They are normals, het for coral (hypo) snow. Whether they can be classed as okeetees as adults cant really be determined yet i dont think since it is likely the sunglow parent contributed increased orange colour, but it'll vary among the clutch and could have been evened out by the other parent.
 
The baby indeed looks like an okeetee, but you'll never know how it's going to change as it grows up. Do all the babies look like that or are some of them just regular normals? If there's only few okeetee-kind of normals, I'd say they're keepers ;)

I'd like to see more pics. :)


In 99% of cases Sunglow x Ghost breeding would produce Normals het. Amel, Anery, Hypo (the "ingredients" for a Coral Snow). I would even suspect them to have thinner borders around the saddles due to the fact that Sunglow lacks white borders which normal Amels and better yet Reverse Okeetees clearly have. It also is possible even though not very likely that your snakes - or most likely the ghost parent - is from okeetee lines.

For example I've just recently learned about Hypo Okeetee het. Anery, Bloodred x Hypo Okeetee het. Anery, Bloodred breeding done in Holland. And the parents originate from Serpenco okeetee lines. Based on the morphs of the parents the clutch probably have included Ghosts too. And Ghosts from these kind of pairings COULD pass on wider borders than expected.

Although even if your snakes would have okeetee backgrounds and even if the babies seem to have wide borders I wouldn't call them Okeetees just yet - just to be safe. Okeetee is more than just the borders. So it may well be that the babies won't get the true okeetee colouring which would make them Normals with stunning wide borders. :)
