Hmm... we'd probably be able to give you better advice if you posted some pics. I'd love to see your babies! ^_^

 

[jas7019]

there not that good im going to be posting them but they are from my cell phone i hope you can see them give me ten min

 

[jas7019]

here are my babys pics

here is the 1st baby hope you are able to see my to help me out

Well... as snow = amel/anery and albino typically means amel (red+white snake, no black), logically you should have gotten all amels at the very least, assuming no other hets.

However, if by albino you mean an anery (black and white snake, no red) then it makes sense that snow + anery = all anery babies.

 

[jas7019]

no my female is a red albino

 

[Shiari]

Then logically what you've produced is impossible. If the father truly is a snow, the babies should all be either Amels (red albino) or amels and snows, if the mother is het anery.

Can you get us a pic of both parents please?

here is my male snow and female albino

here are some pics of my male and female

 

[jas7019]

to tell you the truth Shiari im not to sure if she is but i know he is a snow

 

[Shiari]

Mom there actually looks like a very orange normal. I see black/gray at her saddle edges and dark eyes, not the white edges and red eyes that are the characteristics of a true amel. Thus, the aneries are now possible as that normal/hypo is het anery.

http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60595 that is what an amel typically looks like. Your girl does not.

 

[Velvet]

The female looks like a hypo or a normal, not an amel, she doesn't seem to have red eyes.

 

[jas7019]

so your saying she is a normal

 

[jas7019]

so what are my babies are they normal

 

[Shiari]

Yes. With those dark saddle edges, she can *not* be a red albino. She very clearly has black on her. She is, however, also obviously het for anery at this point. Unless she is also het for amel, the clutch should result in anery and normal babies. If she is also het for amel, you can get normals, aneries, amels, and snows. At the very least, that anery that hatched out first (it's very much not a ghost in my opinion, far too dark) is also het for amel, because Dad is homozygous for amel and anery.

 

[jas7019]

both the babies are the same they look just alike

 

[Shiari]

Oh, and to breed a bloodred you would need two snakes that carry the diffusion genes. That means either two snakes that are both het for blood, one het and one homo, or two bloodreds. The candycane is a special line of amel, and would most likely require two candy can parents to get the consistently best looking offspring.

 

[Shiari]

Hatching two aneries is not unusual. If she is indeed het, as it appears, then you should get a 50/50 split. However, hets are rather like a roulette wheel. You could range anywhere from all to nothing. But those babies are NOT amels, and neither is mom. Mom is normal, het anery at least so far.

 

[jas7019]

so the babies are anery

i want to thank you for helping me i just really got in to corns and really want to get familiar with there names and color patterns is there a detailed site i could go to to furter help me out that you know of

Browse the forums here, particular the gallery. People list what morph of corn the picture is of. Also Ian's vivarium is a good resource for morphs. I can PM you the website address if you'd like.
