Reverse Okeetee or Amel?

Last week I got 3 new snakes, almost for free :)
1 big snow, a normal, but I'm not sure about the third....

I like him/her anyway, but just curious :)
 
Can you get us some more pictures of this kid and a couple close-ups of the head including the pattern?
 
I agree with Shiari, can we get a close up of the head? For whatever reason the head doesn't strike me as a corn head, more like a king head. It could just be the angle, but more pictures would be great! Either way, he is a GORGEOUS snake :)
 
The head pattern looks like a milksnake's to me, which is why I want more photos.

My first thought was "Oh! Is that an albino nelson's? no... no... not quite right."
 
Patternwise I's say great RO, but I agree with Shiari and Ali, something about the head looks off (could just be the pic :shrugs: ) and you'd "expect" to see more in the way of markings on the side.
 
SWEEEET!!!

Looks like a VERY NICE Reverse Okeetee. Looks strange how the last saddle on the upper right of the pic has no white border. Would love to see more pics!

Congrats!! Nice pick-up! :cheers:

I tried to take some pictures today, but the snake really had other plans instead.....
but i could take one of the head....

The snake really has a head like the other corns i have, even tough the picture doesn't show it....
 
the pattern is off for a pure corn. My guess is that it's a jungle corn... (cross with lampropeltis).
 
Gotta say the head scales look right in comparison to a corn's...I dunno lol, it may just be the greatest reverse okeetee I've ever seen...can you get some belly shots, Dennis?...

Kinda sad, that 12 years of looking at corns and I just can't say for sure that that is a corn snake...Bit OT but it is why some keepers steer clear from morph colubrids these days and only work with locality animals from sources they trust...
 
That is a CLASSIC milksnake head pattern! Solid head with a single dot near the brows, and a huge collar around the neck! And his nose is stubby/rounded.

Some pictures I just took.... I got this one throught Marktplaats (dutch version of craigslist) together with a normal and a snow for 30 euro (39 dollars).

I had no intention of breeding with these snakes.....they just looked good for that price :)
 
indeed, cheap price. But make sure you won't breed with the RO or label the babies as jungle corns. :)
