Breeding for Snow corns?

I was just wondering how Snow corns were made? I tried doing a search, but I didn't really find anything that helped...

Personally, I figured that, to get a snow corn, a cross between an Anery x Amel would create a snow. Seeing as Anerys lack orange/red pigment and Amels lack black, the end result would be a snake with no red and no black..hence a snow. Is this correct? If it does involve an Anery, does it matter which type between type A or B?

Thanks for any help!

You are correct that a snow is both anery and amel. But there is more to producing one that just crossing the anery and the amel together. The anery must be het for amel, and the amel must be het for anery. For most morphs that are recessive, the animals get half their genetic material from each parent. It means if you cross the anery and amel and they are not het for each other, you could get all normals het for both anery and amel. I am not the best at explaining this, if you want a more in depth explanation you should look in the genetics faq...
Type B and amel is a "blizzard" a white snake but different than a snow...

Oh okay, I get it now. You explained it just fine, and it was exactly what I needed to know! It makes much more sense. Thanks a bunch
