Blizzard?

I am seen amels hatch out looking like that one as well. I guess we will see as more hatch plus after their first shed. It will become obvious if that one is an late bloomer amel or indeed an opal.
 
Do you know the hets of the for sure blizzard? The zig zag pattern on the back of the peach baby does look like what is found in lavenders quite often.

I personally thinking right now with out looking at anymore babies that your boy is an opal het anery. But now it begs the question is mom het lavender.
 
WOW There are to many to "amels" that look like that, usually you will only get one or two that are that light. And looking at the eyes they do look more like opal eyes than amel eyes. I would like to see them post shed but I am thinking you have proved dad opal and mom as het lavender.
 
tried the Corn Snake Calculator with the hets different for the female...here's what they said....


Male: Opal ( Amel, Lavender ) het Anery

Female: Blizzard ( Amel, Charcoal ) het Lavender

Phenotype:

1 / 2 Amel het Lavender, Charcoal 50% poss het. Anery

1 / 2 Opal ( Amel, Lavender ) het Charcoal 50% poss het. Anery


Genotype:

1 / 4 Amel het Charcoal, Lavender

1 / 4 Amel het Anery, Charcoal, Lavender

1 / 4 Amel, Lavender het Charcoal

1 / 4 Amel, Lavender het Anery, Charcoal

------------------------------------------------
Male: Opal ( Amel, Lavender ) het Anery

Female: Blizzard ( Amel, Charcoal ) het Anery

Phenotype:

3 / 4 Amel het Lavender, Charcoal 66% poss het. Anery

1 / 4 Snow ( Amel, Anery ) het Lavender, Charcoal


Genotype:

1 / 4 Amel het Charcoal, Lavender

1 / 2 Amel het Anery, Charcoal, Lavender

1 / 4 Amel, Anery het Charcoal, Lavender
 
I'm not an expert by no means but from looking at pics they all look like snows to me maybe opals too but because their are no amels I would think that maybe your known blizzard is also homo for anery too? so if you have that and a snow you would get snows or if there is lav involved then opals too. I think it is more likely though that you have a snow and a blizzard that is also homo for anery. Unless there is a very visual difference of a corn that is homo for all three that I don't know about.

Look again. See all the babies with the orange saddles? See them next to the entirely white/pink babies? Those orange-saddled ones are not homozygous for an anerythristic gene.
 
There is another possibility , that the 'purchased as a blizzard' is het for other genes, and, as often happens, some of those other hets are 'leaking through', that is- expressing themselves to a very slight amount. So unless you know for absolute certain if the parents of the blizzards are pure blizzards and nothing but, then there is the great chance that producing visually pure white blizzards will be a chancy undertaking. Only through breeding trials will you find out what some of the het genes are, and you will need to figure out for yourself how many clutches of test breedings to perform to figure it all out. Also in advance consider what to do with all of the babies which are not the target morph.
In 2010 I hatched out 3 which looked precisely like blizzards, but now, 14 months later, have colored up to become very pink snows with greenish saddle borders. Because of their het genes.

On a side note, Anery, by definition, also includes besides A&B, Lavender.
 
I'm with Dave, love to see updated pics in the spring. Right now they "look" like opals and snows to me, and the simplest explanation, genetically, theoretically and statistically would mean a snow het lav X "snopal". How about more pics the parents :)
 
Thanks so much everyone. Think I'm keeping all but one of the babies for awhile to see how they turn out.
I didn't buy the female as a Blizzard. I got her from a friends gf who didn't know a thing about the morphs of Corn Snakes and just thought it was a plain Corn Snake. The male I got from a guy on Craigslist. that he said was all white. Well after driving almost 2 hours I took him anyways even though I could clearly see he was not all white. The guy was not too friendly so I took him and left. Paid $75.
I'll look for more pics of the parents right now.
