This was my first year to breed corns and I have had a real blast. One female I bred, I was not sure if she took, so I placed her with a second male, and she laid 25 eggs. Wow! When the babies started pipping, I thought for sure I knew who she bred with. Then I had an oddball and now I'm not sure what I have I am attaching a picture in hopes that you all can help me figure it out. The dam is a bloodred het amel...or she was sold to me as such. The first male is a reverse okeetee het nothing and the second male is an anery het lava.

Looks like an amel with big borders. It will probably color up more after a few sheds. Odds are you are seeing the reverse okeetee influence. Lots of amels don't show their full color until a few sheds and a bit older. The change can be drastic.
 
I was thinking on those lines. It has shed once and looks very different already. The saddles are so uniform and tight compared to all my other hatchlings. The rest of the bunch are all different shades from almost black to many variations of brown. Cool looking snakes. The ventral on some are partially diffused. I'm hoping het bloodreds. Thanks so much for your input.
 
Reverse Okeetee maybe? Its borders remind me of a hurricane motley

You know, now that you say it...I see the hirricanes. But the genteics are not there. Hmmmm.... Maybe I just got me a special baby. The first person I asked said reverse okeetee and that was before it shed. We are watching it closely. She said to put a thread on here that you guys were all very knowledgable and very helpful. I thank all of you for your insights :)
 
Definitely an RO! Real nice one too! It looks like the first male did sire at least this hatchling. The others sound like normals and technically could be from either father.
