f. Creamsicle + m. Okeetee maybe a (possible) Lava too

Mom to 2 Corns
What do you guys think I'd get when I breed Celeste (f. Creamsicle) and Elliot (m. Okeetee)?

Also, the pet shop has a Corn they are selling as a Bloodred. However, it does not look like a Bloodred, it looks more like a Lava or something similar. It's not solid red on top, it has a pattern (all red though and I can't remember if it's chin and neck are white, I think they are). Plus it's darker red is not as bright, it's more faded than a Bloodred.

Anyway, if I was to buy it (don't know if I can though) and breed it to Elliot or Celeste, depending it's gender, or some of there babies (when they are big enough to have babies) what might I get then.

Snake genetics is really confusing to me. lol

Thank you. :)

Well, a Creamsicle is an amelanistic hybrid of Corn and Emoryi rat snake.
An Okeetee is a selectively bred variation (or a specific locality) of normal corn snake.

So if you cross the two (assuming no hidden hets) you will get 100% "Rootbeer" het Amel offspring - normal-looking hybrid-heritage North American Rat Snakes.

Let's make a distinction between 'bloodred' the colour and 'diffuse' the gene.

If it's a homozygous diffuse, from what I understand it should have no belly checkers, and should show diffusion on the sides. It may still have pattern on the top, and 'diffuse' comes in any flavour of morph (i.e. Pewter being diffuse charcoal). A diffuse hatchling will usually have pattern on top (though the sides fade down to the white belly) - this diffusion generally increases with age, so an older diffuse animal may look totally different to his hatchling photos.

Bloodred, the colour, implies the 'best' of an animal that is homozygous diffuse but otherwise morph-normal AND which would ideally be a deep rich red with a high degree of diffusion and clean white belly at the same time. But you can get homozygous diffuse animals that aren't the 'best of the best' and don't show the rich colour (which is selectively bred for) or the perfect diffusion (again, might well be selectively bred for or due to other genes we haven't chased down yet).

Cross a Bloodred to a Creamsicle, you get 100% Rootbeer het diffuse/amel.
Cross a Bloodred to an Okeetee, you get 100% Normal het diffuse/bloodred.
