Has any one here ever got combinations of the selective bred amels in the same clutch? A mixture of normal amels, candy canes, reverse okeetee, floresent ornge,sunglow. I had a pairing that had a lot of possible hets but all came out amel but all very different looking amels.
 
No, it's not really possible. Sunglows are not just no-borders but super vibrant ground color. Candycanes are pure white ground color. Reverse okeetees are not just *some* border, but HUGE borders.
 
I know what makes them up, but is it possible to get say Candy Cane, R/O, and normal Amel in a clutch, and if no, why?
 
I explained why, though not explicitly.

The amel phenotype is a triangle with RO, Sunglow, and Candycane at the corners. Vibrant orange ground color and pure *white* ground color are fundamentally opposed to each other. HUGE borders and NO borders are fundamentally opposed to each other.
 
If you have a clutch of babies that look like possible RO's and sunglows, I would watch them shed a few times. No it really isn't possible. You may have some babies that have more or less white depending on how much influence they got from the parents but you aren't going to truly have candy canes, RO's and sunglows.

That is a typical range of amels. None of 'em are RO quality, none of them are going to be candycanes. The first one might be an "almost sunglow" when it grows up, but has too much border to actually be one.
 
I really really like #2!!!

They do have a wide range of brightness, but all within the scope of regular amels.

That's the fun part about the morphs, even within the set morph, you can have a lot of variety.
 
I would say thats a great looking healthy clutch of amels with alot of variation. I would only label them as amels just to be honest about there genetics. To many people label a snake something else just cause it has that look to make more money but the genetics are not there. Good Luck with some great looking snakes!
