Anery and Amel would produce what?

I have an anerythristic female and an amelanistic male that I am hoping to breed and was told I could get snows out of this mix. Is that true? If not, what would the likely byproducts be?
 
You'd get all normals het anery & amel. If you bred siblings from that pairing, you'd still only get a 1/16th chance of getting a snow--half would be normals, about 1/4 amels and 1/4 anerys.
 
No. You'd get Normals that are heterozygous for Amel and Anery. You'd have to breed those babies together and get a 6.25% chance at hatching a Snow.

The female would need to be heterozygous ("het") for amelanistic and the male would need to be het for anerythristic for a chance to produce snows in the first generation of breeding.

Assuming that neither carries the required heterozygous genes, you'd get normals all het for amel and anery; breeding these together would produce some snows.

(However, it's a "thin" assumption - amel and anery are the most common recessive genes out there.)

That said, the genetics and breeding FAQ here in the forums would be a good place for you to start.

Pretty sure that IS what you said . . . guess I'm just a slower typer than you OR I didn't get to that tab in my browser quick enough to see you had posted! :) Either way you beat me I guess.

LOL! As long as the right info gets out, guess that is what really matters! BTW, your answer is a much clearer explanation! :)
 
Thanks for all the help! I'm def a n00b when it comes to the genetics behind all this breeding stuff, so I'll absolutely be reading whatever it is I can get my hands on!

There are also online two genetics predictors you can use, very helpful. One is at www.cornsnakes.nl - click on "genetics wizard". The other is http://home.comcast.net/~spencer62/cornprog.html. I think these don't take the place of reading up on the subject to try and get a handle on it, but they are definitely helpful (and fun, I might add)! Good luck!
