what does a....

susan,

I see...wow..they do change ALOT!!! to be honest with you, i havent bred any babies as of yet...but i am registered with the ACR, I have a room,caging,and funds to supply food for the babies...(which i wont have till spring of 2012...if EVERYTHING goes right...and I know it probably wont.) I'm prepared for that..well..as much as i think i should be....I just have ideas on what looks "Neat" and wonder if it is genetically possible to produce such an animal. Like,for example...an Ultra caramel stripe....would the stripe have slight black borders on a yellowish snake? These thoughts and ideas are what keeps me up till 2:00am, picking the brains of people who HAVE been breeding snakes for years...so i hope you dont mind...and thanks for your insight on this topic thus far....it's really anwsered a few questions i had.

p.s.
the 2012 breeding is my Phantom het amel x Ultramel Charcoal.....I was hoping to see charcoals/ultramel charcoals/and Blizzards

What a beautiful baby. I completely understand racking you brain on the genetics and what would make a cool snake. Right now I am in a holding pattern. I am just testing hets at the moment. This year was a real bummer cause I really didn't learn to much. I had one interesting baby and unfortunately I lost him. He was a normal corn without a belly pattern. Not a motley. Some of the babies have split belly patterns and some have just half of there belly had checkers. So do I breed that pair together again and try to shoot for that baby again or do I continue the course of testing and move on till I can breed the babies that I kept back? So as you see I completely understand.
 
yeah,
well what little i do i understand about genetics and how they work with cornsnakes, nothing is a given. personally, i'd breed the parents again and hope that murphy doesnt show up...of course the little one you lost is probably one of those 1 in a million genetic anomalies. is it possible to win back to back lottery's? sure...but what are the odds?? but hey, thats why we do what we do....i'd certainly try again. a Normal with no belly checkers,not het or homo for diffusion,masque,motley or any other genetics known to "erase" belly checks would be AWESOME!!!! and if it proves inheritable...whoa nelly!! could be a key to making a corn with no discernable
difference in color from top to bottom. like an all Black corn (which is one of my pet projects i have plans on attacking).

Yeah I cried for days after I found him and I really had a hard time not blaming my husband and kids (long story) I kept his amel brother that only has a couple checkers under his neck. I suspect that dad might be het bloodred he looks very bloodred but has belly checkers. I also kept a little anery that was different from her anery sisters. Her under tone is very pinky purple but either way Mom is het not bloodred. But that is why I am thinking I will breed them in a few years hopefully prove dads hets and the blank bellies as I call them. Maybe your right go ahead and breed this pair again, maybe if luck is on my side than I will get a female blank belly then breed her to my amel then the odds would be even greater. I will have to keep you posted on what ends up causing my blank bellies.
