Assuming the regular okeetee is not het for albino, you'd get more okeetees with some variation of each parent expressed within the offspring. Okeetee is just simply a selectively bred, locality trait. The only thing simple, Mendelian genetics-based in this pairing would be albinism.
The characteristics of okeetee are most likely polygenic, with the traits shared throughout normal, wild-type corn snakes in general: typically a variation of an orange background, some degree of a black blotch border, and hue variations of red blotches. introduce these into other corn snakes and you get varying results of each parent's genetic influences.
Think of this like skin, hair, or eye color in humans. These traits are viewed and commonly decribed in terms of being either recessive or dominant, but in all actuality they are polygenic (multiple genes contributing to a phenotypic, or outwardly visible result) and sometimes incompatable with one another. In example, there are different variations of blue eyes. When a man and woman with these different blue eyes have a child, there may be a chance of a brown eyed child being born, yet people assume all blue-eyed families will always produce blue-eyed children since blue eyes are recessive.
