Always been fascinated with the red modifying genes and line breedings. Recently chatted with Don of SMR about the cherry gene. I hope he doesn’t mind me sharing what he wrote:
Anyone here have more info on red modifying genes? I have also wondered if the old school bloodreds were diffused + a red modifier?
Lastly, I’m very interested to know more about Joe Pierce’s magma and Ruby stuff.

The RedCoat Magma and Ruby lines originate from the male you bought from me, a RedCoat Okeetee het Lava. You should read my recent thread in this genetics section called. Corn Snake Genetic Revelations. It explains my opinion, on the complete Bloodred Genetic make up. Old School Bloodreds, were much like todays Bloodreds, except they had the Yellow Jacket gene in the mix, which made them Burnt Orange. All of my Bloodred Lines, are free of the Yellow Jacket gene. If you wan't red coloration in your Corns, you need to bred out the Yellow Jacket gene, which came from Yellow Rats bred into our Corns.
There is a thread on this forum somewhere that I read, describing the Cherry Gene, before Don S's info, but I agree with him, except I think it is just recessive. It varies so much do to many factors, like which line of Corn they came from. I can argue, or it is my opinion, that Sunglow Amels are infact Yellow Jacket, Border-less, Cherry Amels. Yellow Rat/Corn Hybrids, like ALL hobby Corns are these days. Each and everyone of them, except the Wild Lines.
As far as I know, ALL of the Red Modifying Genes you mentioned are just simple recessive, and I agree with Don S, they are in many lines of our Hobby Corns, from years past, we have just started to SEE, other Corn Snake genes, in our Hobby Corns recently.
