3 also could not find any thing out about candy canes ? could someone please tell me what go into a candy cane ? is it just a cream sickle ?

4 i was on the web site a while back and came across a corn that was a cube stripe and had cubes on its back conected by stripes it was very cool! is this a new morph or how do you go about breading this type of stripes ?

A bloodred is the diffused gene like the amel gene makes red albinos.
yes a sun glow is selective bred amel.
candy canes are selective bred too, not a cream sickle they are different

someone correct me if I am wrong the cube you are talking about is a form of motley.

1) Look for diffused

2) Yes

3)Candy cane is also a selectively bred amel. It is bred to be red and white or orange and white.

4)You are going to need two snakes either homo or het cube/stripe to make cube/stripe babies.

Cube is a natural variant of stripe. It's not something that is directly heritable, so there's no surefire way to make lots more of them.

And just to add, a creamsicle is not a pure corn but rather an intergrade hybrid (amel version, rootbeer is the normal version) between a corn snake and an emoryi rat snake. As Megan said, cubed is just a variant of stripe. When I first got in to corn snakes, a cubed stripe would have been thought to be totally undesirable as the fully striped pattern with absolutely no connections was considered the best. Then the vanishing stripes became popular (again, they were undesirable 15 years ago) and you started to see many more of those and the cubes started to appear as well, gaining a small group of fans.

Diffuse is the proper name of the gene with bloodred being more a selectively bred variety of diffuse, And even then, some diffuse corns have a much more diffused side pattern than others.

Amels come in a wide variety of selectively bred cultivars, from sunglows to candy canes, fluorescent orange to high white reverse Okeetees and everything in between.

I have heard people combine Amel with the locality specific Miami corn to make a better looking CandyCane Corn.

Yea Bloodred is Diffused, period, no other ingredient needed.

The above is correct.
Just want to add that Cube Stripe is not new.
Also, A Sunglow is not just the lack of white borders. It must be rich, &/or vibrantly, colored as well. (Too many snakes, out there, that some people name "Sunglow", when, in fact, they are not).
