What would a Common Corn Snake and an Amel Corn snake produce?

is there anything besides a Caramel that a butter and Common would make?
(besides more Commons)

Thank you

Without taking any hidden hets into account ...

A Normal/Classic x Amel would produce Normal/Classic het Amel offspring.

A Normal/Classic x Butter would not produce Caramels unless the Normal/Classic was het Caramel.
If the Normal/Classic is ~not~ het Caramel, it would produce Normal/Classic offspring (het Caramel & het Amel) when crossed with a Butter.

OK, cool. How would I know if they had any hidden hets? I know my butter is het Caramel, (which is what I meant) but I dont know how to know if I have a het something or another, I got them from Expos, and from a Pet store. They said nothing about their genes.

The only way to know, 100%, if there are any hets is if you knew what the parents were (knowing the parents genetics will let you know what their offspring carry).

I know my butter is het Caramel, (which is what I meant)

Caramel is a base gene from which Butters, Ambers, etc. are produced.
A Butter is not het Caramel. It is homozygous Caramel + homozygous Amel.

Heterozygous (het) means that there is only one copy, of a particular gene,... and it is not physically expressed on an animal.
Homozygous means that there are two copies, of a particular gene,... and it will be expressed (have an effect on) on the phenotype (physical appearance).
