What are the results of these breedings?:
Amel to Lav het Amel?
Opal to Amel?
Thanks so much to anyone who answers!

Amel to Lav het Amel?
You would get 50% normals het amel and lav and 50% Amels het lavender (if there are no hidden hets).
Opal to Amel?
IF an opal is an amel lavender, than you would get 100% Amels het lavender (if there are no hidden hets). I haven't heard if anyone has as yet proven opal to be an amel lavender or not...JY, Clint, Rich, help?...but I think that is the belief right now.
Corrections welcome, jmho.

Oh yeah, Pearl is the one we aren't sure of, opal is the coined name for amel lav's. That's right. LOL. Unfortunately, to me, opals and pearls are catergorized as the same thing in my little brain (speaking of the mineral version, of course) even though I know they aren't the same thing).

Opal
You are correct, Opal is the name Rich has given to his amelanistic Lavender line. It is new enough though that Rich hasn't changed the name on his site yet.

I kind of like the name. Now, we just need to figure out what the Pearl corn is. Any input on that one Rich?

Is there anything you can breed to an amel to get anerys and possibly snows in the F1 if the amel is not het??
amels, anerys, and snows
All three of these colors are the result of or combined result of recessive genes. In order for any snake to show one of these color mutations, both of the paired genes must be mutated (i.e. the gene from the father and the gene from the mother at that locus).
That being said, an amelanistic snake is the result of having 2 mutated amel genes at the amel locus. A snake with only one amel gene and one normal gene will look normal (and be heterozygous for amel). An anerythristic is an individual carrying both genes for anery type A at the anery locus. A snow is a combined effect of the above two genes and requires an animal to be homozygous (carrying like genes for) amelanism AND anerythrism.
Looking at your question:
The answer is No. If the amel is not het for anery, there is no way she can pass on an anery gene to pair with a male's anery gene to give anery (or snow) babies. Anerys and snows are homozygous for anery A, snows are also homozygous for amel.
Hope this makes sense.
