I'd like to know if it is possible to get different patterns or colors in hatchlings if both parents are Carolina's?

If you haven't brushed up on corn genetics, I highly recommend Chuck's tutorial: http://cornguide.com/geneticspages.php
I saw you have some breeding experience, but be wary about breeding too many wild type hatchlings. I've seen normal corns go for as low as $5, a price point that is attractive to those who might see them as disposable pets (or cobra food). If your female is particularly prolific, you could be looking at rehoming ~20 babies, even more if she happens to double clutch.

I'm going to have a good read of that, have read a little more about breeding since I posted, and is kinda turning me off of the idea, after reading that it can cause harm or death to the female, so maybe it will be a no-no, I want her big, healthy and strong as possible, thanks, loving this forum :dancer:

Yes, it's possible, if your carolinas are siblings, and the byproduct of someone else's project. If you bought them separately, it's still possible to get common morphs like amel, anery, hypo, maybe motley. You just never know.
There's a good article, I think down in Chip's private forum, about Should I Breed My Snake? or something like that. Worth reading. It's always best to hold off until you have a specific breeding goal in mind, and know your local market, and are just knowledgeable about breeding, incubating, hatching, starting feeding, etc. I have some articles down in my private forum, and Rich Z has a post, I think a sticky in the Breeding section, about Murphy's Laws of Breeding.
