Candy Canes

I have a pair of candycanes that I will be breeding this year. It's my first time breeding, so if all goes well I should have a clutch. I'm working on becoming certified to ship as well, so by the time they are ready to go I will be certified.
 
Sure. It's not the best pic but here they are. The female is the one with the more frosted looking saddles. She's a red candycane, the male is a red orange color. I haven't witnessed them locking but I've found "evidence" after both times of pairing them.

VP is a trait, not a gene. While they are stripe based, this trait involves the removal of the genetics which produce pattern. This is why I put quotes around "het". Because something cannot be het for something which has selectively been removed. Hope this makes sense. The long version is here: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1531516&postcount=10
and can be applied to any trait one can refine, whether pattern or color or ???
I expect to have some CC with hets:
they don't have to be bred to produce the hets, but sometimes it's nice to get stock from a couple different sources so there
a)won't be issues from excessive inbreeding.
b)different stock of same phenotype can be worked into a specific new breeding program
while for the most part avoiding unwanted hets
