Reverse albino okeetee X melanistic

If by melanistic, you mean anerythristic (which is the proper term), ...
You would not get Snows unless the anery is het Amel and the Reverse Okeetee (an Amel) is het anery.

BTW I meant to add that ... if neither have these hets, then all the babies would be Normals het Amel & Anery.
 
ok im kinda confused, what are amels??

and yes i mean a almost all black corn.
sorry im so nieve to this, im just trying to do it right.
 
amelanistic (amel) = "red albino" white, orange and red snake

anerythristic ( anery) = "black albino" black,gray,white snake

snow ( has both anery and amel genes combined)= mostly white snake with some pinks or yellows.

Hope that helps....Kyle
 
A good online resource about corn snake morphs that you might want to take a look at is Ian's Vivarium. It has pictures and explanations and has helped me a great deal.
 
To go off of Kyle's post...melanin is the black pigment and erythrin is the red pigment. The prefix a- or an- means lacking so amelanistic (amel) is lacking black while anerythristic (anery) is lacking red. What you were calling melanistic (thinking that you were saying black) is correctly called an anery. Another good site is www.cornguide.com and click on genetics.

I'm wondering about this a little... there is currently no "melanistic" morph of corn that I know of. Do you mean an Anerythristic or "black albino" like this kind of snake?

I guess I'm wondering a little if your "melanistic" snake is a corn snake, or some other kind of ratsnake.

That's what I thought of too. I don't think if any of the corn morphs (anery, charcoal etc.) could be considered "almost all black". I'd rather say all grey.

Can we get a picture of that snake?
 
The term "melanistic" has been used for Anerythristic Cornsnakes (which is why I figured the OP might be referring to an Anery).
However, "Melanistic", of course, is not the correct term for Anerythristic Corns.
 
Okay! Well, if there are no hets you'll get normals (and maybe some that qualify as okeetee) het for snow (amel and anery)

A lot of corns these days are het amel though, so I wouldn't be too shocked if you got amels and normals het anery/amel (snow). Whether or not they qualify as reverse okeetees or okeetees is based purely on their looks (unless it's a locality okeetee, in which case they'd be all normals, etc). It's possible your RO could be het anery, too, although less likely.
