some advice needed on offspring

Hey all Corn fans.
I'm breeding my female snow corn to a male albino Cal king snake.
What offspring will I get, I was thinking albino jungle corns?
Here are some photos of them

I'm not sure the exact morphs you may get because I don't know if the genes line up on the same alleles, but they would be jungle corns. I would sell them as king/corn hybrids though, since some people may not realize a jungle isn't a corn snake.
 
Do you have a female king to scent bait the male with? Even if so, keep a close eye on them or you may well have a grotesquely distended king and no corn. I've had kings try to eat each other pairing them up, I can only imagine how quickly they might try to dispatch a natural food item.
 
Here is something to think about before you attempt this breeding.

Corns usually only copulate for about 30 mins., sometimes a little longer, but kingsnakes can stay hooked up for hours. (Milksnakes for 15 mins. or so)

What I'm getting at is, I believe these copulation time limits are linked to each species for a certain reason and using a male king to a female corn will definatly go way beyond the NORMAL time period of copulation for your female corn.

I can't say for sure because I do not hybridize and don't have the experience in it, but this could possibly cause damage to the female corn.
I've heard that people who do breed King X Corn use the opposite genders in species ( FEMALE King X MALE Corn ) for this reason.

Just a little food for thought ;)
