I have a snow corn (female) and a creamsicle (male). Finally got a set of eggs that look good. Had 5 crack and 1 now out of the egg. This is the first one. Very cool colours on it. I think its a high white reverse okeetee but I cant say for sure. Does anyone know the type it is?

Amelanistic. Borders aren't thick enough to be an RO and they gain a LOT of color as they age. See those little psots of orange pigment between the saddles? Those will increase in color and spread out over time, so it won't be high white either, probably.
 
Because the sire is a creamsicle, technically this little guy could probably qualify as one also. Creamcicles are amelanistic hybrids between corn snakes and great plains rat snakes, though in some areas the two are still considered to be the same species.
 
Ok, thanks for the info. This is a photo of its pop. I am not an expert but he is creamsicle right? He is really big for a corn snake. I assume the baby will looks like him?

Whoops, my eyes totally glossed over the creamsicle part! So yes, your baby is a creamsicle, which is an amelanistic hybrid.
 
Nice looking hatchling !
I had the same pairing but reversed sexes. Wish the girl Creamsicle produced fertile eggs but all were slugs :(
She passed last month of old age.....
 
Hopefully she lived a fun happy life :D

Thanks to all for info. I am curious is to what I should sell these for? I hope to break even after all the costs.... More mouths to feed. Thankfully I can get pinkies in bulk at a reasonable price. The wife is scared of them and claims she will handle a baby. But the one in the photo she had to guide into that container. It will all be worth it when she has her own in the end. To ramble on a little more. My checkers (daddy in the photo). Got out of my hands and managed to get under the cupboards. Instead of yanking him, I chose to let him go. I am sure people here know when a snake does not want to be taken from its course. It will injure them for sure if you pull. It was around 2:00am and she freaked out and started packing all her stuff and calling around to find somewhere to go. He ended up coming back out 20 minutes later and she calmed down. Hopefully one of the babies will become a new shoulder buddy :D
 
Most of the common morphs (snows, amels, aneries, etc.) sell for about 20-30 dollars in the US. I think prices tend to be a bit higher in Canada, so you might be able to ask more.
