If your snakes were JUST caramel and JUST opal, no not from that exact pairing. Hets matter! If your opal is genuinely an opal, then the sunglow had to be het lavender, and the ultra lavender had to actually be an ultramel lavender.
If the only possible parentage of the caramel is either amber x amber or amber x butter, then it MUST be the latter or it would also be an amber. Pairing two snakes with matching homozygous traits will always result in homozygous offspring. That means your caramel is probably het hypo and amel.
Caramel het hypo amel x Opal would yield:
1/2 amel het lavender caramel 50% het hypo
1/2 wild type het amel lavender caramel 50% het hypo
If you hold back two of those amel offspring (let's pretend neither inherited the hypo gene) and pair them together you'd get:
9/16 amel 66% het caramel lavender
3/16 butter 66% het lavender
3/16 opal 66% het caramel
1/16 caramel opal
If your opal is somehow het for caramel, you would indeed get some butters from that pairing.

I m purity shore the lavender in the opal is ultramel lavender. The person I bought the opal from was pretty knowledgeable . But all the guy I bought the Carmel gave me 2 males and 2 females that could be the parents, and didn't,t know who was bread to who. Witch I think is poor record keeping even if your new to the hobby or breeding animals for any reason.
Will it be easy to tell the amel from the normal baby's ?

Not knowing which female laid which clutch is probably bad record keeping, but not knowing male parentage is not all that uncommon. Females are known to retain sperm to lay more eggs the following season, so sometimes you can pair a new male with a female the next year but she'll still have some or all of her hatchlings by the previous male. If the genetics of the two males are similar, it can be tough to know which baby is from who.
