Since (s)he's still very small, I would say a really nice amel. It doesn't happen all the time, but the orange tends to 'creep' closer to the saddles as they age, making the white borders less and less. The width of the border is where the difference lies.

You can see on your first picture that the white bands are already a little small. Compare your snake to the hatchling here: http://www.iansvivarium.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/morphguide/reverseokeetee.html

Here is the amel page from the same site: http://www.iansvivarium.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/morphguide/amelanistic.html
 
A RO is an amel.. so you can call it whatever you want.
By the pictures I wouldn't say RO for sure.. it looks mostly like a regular amel.
Great photos and snake, anyway! :)
 
Thank all of you for your kind words.

Jrgh17 I agree there are places where his/her white borders get kinda small, around the zig zag they are quite small. The orange can creep all it wants... lol. Thank you for the compairison photos. I wasnt sure if the huge white borders on the tail area would classify it more as a RO.

SnakesRule1234 lol. I love your comment. I knew RO's were amels. I agree its young and you cant quite tell right now. But I love the part where "you can call it whatever you want.".

Thank you all. I cant wait for him/her to grow up. and hopefully become less shy.
