I got this guy 3 weeks ago from a breeder I met through Craigslist. Anyways he sold it to me as a normal. His father was an amel stripe and his mother was a high orange okeetee. this little guy looks normal except that he has no checkers on his belly and has there messed up saddles, that almost look like bands at some points. I'm planing on breeding him to my amel/ motley female in 2 years. what can i expect as far as babie from the two? I don't know what if any hets my amel has.

Well, he does have a very banded look, but he doesn't look bloodred or motley/striped, so I'm stumped. The messed up saddles aren't that messed up, and suggest nothing to me. That snake also looks homo for hypo. My Upper Keys corn has no checkers, and it has a hypo look, but I don't understand his genetics either. Can't say yours looks like one of those either, but I've read that there is great variety among them, so who knows?

Maybe he's a paradox normal, ka-ching! ;)
 
He had some mamis, bloods, hypo, and some sunglow. He said this was from a differnt clutch. I couldn't decide between him or this miami that was het for blood. I chose him b/c of the belly. I've asked the guy if he has blood in him but he said that he doesn't, so I don't know. I think he looks very miami, the picks don't really show it but he's really grey past the first third of his body.
I gotta borrow my roomate camera again, i'll take more pictures in a few days after he sheds (he's really blue right now, if u look closely you can see his eyes)
 
i was thinking hypo because there not alot of black like in regular normals... so may be he's homo hypo het amel stripe :santa:

Normally bandeds are motleys, which would explain the patternless belly.

Yeah, but the red/orangish belly seems weird. That snake looks young; would you expect the belly to be that color on a normal or hypo motley of young age? Unlike my bloods, my motleys haven't shown much (any?) color bleed on the ventrals. Their bellies are pretty stark white.

Well, why not? My 'cubed' doesn't have a stark white belly, in fact, the belly is a gross splotchy browness going on. I'm sure if that is possible, then so is the belly bleed from the sides---much like in my blood.
 
I would personally not think hypo from the picture. He looks as though he is due to shed yesterday in the pic. As for the rest, who knows for sure, if the breeder can't/won't tell you exactly where it came from genetically then you're stuck with exactly what you're planning . . . breeding trials. The plain belly is intriguing either way.
