snow x anery, assuming no hets, should give all anerys het amel (het snow)

Breed it to your snow. A snow is an animal that is homozygous for BOTH amelanism AND anerythrism. So, if you breed it to your snow (and your anery is het for amel), 50% of the babies should be snows, proving that your anery is het amel.
However, these are ONLY the expected percentages, and that may not be what actually takes place in any given clutch of babies. Let's say that your anery is het for amel, and you breed it to your snow. Your anery could throw 0, 1, 50%, 0r 100% snow babies. It's just like flipping a quarter. The odds are 50% that it will come up heads or tails on any given throw. However, it is entirely possible to flip that quarter and have it come up heads 95 times in a row! It's all a matter of chance.
So, if you breed your snow to your anery, and NONE of the babies are snows, you know two things: Your babies are all anery het amel (snow), AND your anery is probably not het amel. It could be that it is het amel and you were just unlucky, but that possibility decreases the more babies you produce and none of them are snows. However, if you ever produce even one snow baby out of that anery, you can know for certain that it IS het for amel. Just like it only takes one flip of "tails" to prove that the quarter does have both sides to it.
Now, assuming I haven't made this even more confusing for you . . .
I hope this helps. Good luck with your corns!

What's one more???
I have only had snakes since February,
but was lucky enough to have a couple of clutches of eggs. I adopted 2 adult female corns, and I bought an adult male to go with them. Anyway, my male is amel and the females are anery and snow. From the amel/snow cross, I got all amels (het anery...19 of them)...which suggests that my male is almost definitely NOT het anery or I should have gotten some snows. Like Darin said, however, there is always a small chance that he just didn't produce any...but he could still be het anery. It's just unlikely.
The amel/anery cross however, produced about half amels (het anery) and half normals (het snow)...which means that my anery female HAS to be het amel or all of the babies would have been normal het snow. BOTH snakes had to pass on an amel gene in order for the recessive gene to show.

snow + anerthristic =
if u breed a snow corn and a anerthristic type b ur offspring will be normal if u breed the babies back 2 each other u will get blizzard corns.
