Okay so i have two cornanakes now and i think their both girls, I will be getting them sexed soon, i have been told i have a snow and anery, i want to breed ans my uncle has a amel male, but i want a lavender so if it is posaible i got male lavender what would i get with my girls; and could someone tell me exactly what they are, my snow is about shed so dull i will post new image as she sheds she seems to have a pinky orange colour appearing 2 / 3 of the wau from head down :) thank you
i cannot add pic on my phone so by clicking my profile you can look at each please :) thank you
 
You have a snow and anery, but what the hell happened to your snow?!

She misses a huge part of her tail, seems like she has burned her back in the past... It's not anything genetic but I would never ever breed her and let her enjoy her life in peace.

If you were to breed either of them to a Lavender without any hets you would get only Normals..
To your Anery: Normals het Anery, Lavender
to your Snow: Normals, het Amel, Anery, Lavender
 
Welcome! Both snakes are very cute, however I noticed Shiro is missing part of her tail and it looks like she has some burns on her back. Do you use a heat lamp or know what it is from?
 
I'd advise against breeding your snakes until you fully comprehend cornsnake genetics. Here is an excellent guide: http://cornguide.com/geneticspages.php?page=1 It's pretty simple once you get the basics.

You should also have a solid knowledge of the breeding process, as well as being prepared to rehome quite a few babies. Corn snakes can be incredibly prolific, with some females being able to produce 50-60 eggs per year. VMS has a decent rundown of when everything occurs: http://www.vmsherp.com/LCBreedingCorns.htm There are also several stickies throughout the forums on breeding, particularly Nanci's thread on caring for a breeding female: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121892
 
I had a heat lamp with net but somehow she got burnt, took her vets and she is fine now, he said it would just scar but miraculously there healing somehow and getting scales. :)
Thank you everyone for the advice :)
 
I read that the female reproduction organ is in the first 6 scales after cloaca, Shiro has 16 after croaca so she should be okay but I will consider before breeding the complications and seek advice. :) in my hear she is just as beautiful and her scales are healing to my delight :D

Heat lamps are not advised for corn snakes. Anot under tank heater is what is recommended. They need to be regulated with a thermostat though.
 
You're mixing up males and females. Females do not have their their reproductive tract in their tails. Males have their hemipenes located in the tails.

That said, please do not breed your snow.

Before you breed, are you prepared to have a couple thousand dollars set aside in case your female becomes egg-bound and requires surgery? Are you willing, and able, to *properly* house upwards of 30 babies for a year if they take a long time to sell?

Until you have a good amount of cash set aside as an emergency fund, AND you know your genetics AND you get your set up dealt with properly, breeding would be unethical and irresponsible.
 
some more news guys :) I think my anery is pregnant so that.means shiro's a boy and read loads on genentics and did a module in college a little while ago about genetics so think i underatand it well now, i did get A* on that.module :) and read loads on breeding so got the rught moss going to buy new viv for Shiro to seperate them and got all stuff for incubator sorted ready :)

so i think that means 50 % snows, 25 % normal and 25% anery right?

No. Amel and anery are simple recessive.

Also, you haven't mentioned being about to individually house and feed all the babies nor having an emergency medical fund.

Egg binding happens. It can KILL a female. Are you prepared for this? Are you prepared to have surgery done on your snake and for there to possibly be complications, or for it to be unsuccessful?

Also, what makes you think your anery is gravid?

well its obvious not many are reading this properly! my snow and anery breed not amel! so i was right with genetics and i do have found like that has to do with a slim chance of egg bound happening! im not stupid i know risks and it was done out of accident that she got pregnant! about how i know well her belly sticks out all the way dow all round and squishy! ands its thw perfect stage in this beeding season!
 
none of you ate nice you all have major issues on bad chase sanarios and lack of ttust in snake lovers, i joined in hope of nice owners not nasty people questioning everything!
 
An anery bred to a snow makes aneries het amel. No normals.

Preparing for the worst case scenarios is being a responsible pet owner, because sometimes it happens. That snake I posted? She's MINE. I doesn't even breed her but she made a clutch of infertile eggs and one got stuck. She's currently full of infertile eggs again and I'm petrified for her. First and foremost these are my PETS. Their welfare MUST be my main priority.

You only just got these snakes recently. Being responsible means not rushing in to something that will have a huge impact on your and your pets life... such as breeding. Now, if one of your snakes IS gravid that is no fault of yours. However, my gravid females don't feel 'squishy'. They're firm. So the anery may either be fat... or about to have the biggest poop. They can look gravid if they've been saving up their feces, and they definitely do that sometimes.

You need to do a lot of research right now about how to prepare in case one or the other IS gravid and that includes every possible worst case scenario.

Sometimes the users of a site like this are very concerned with the animal's well-being. They are trying to give you advice, and, as far as I know, getting advice and knowledge once or multiple times never killed anyone.

As the users don't know you personally, they are explaining everything. No harm done. These users are just making sure you understand the dangers. No one's being confrontational. Online, assume people are being very calm unless a lot of exclamation points or other signs of excitement are shown. We aren't nasty people. We're nice, and we want to make sure you understand everything about corn snakes you can.
 
Hi Rebecca from the UK: before you cop an attitude about members on this site not being nice, please remember that you posted a request for information about a living animal, an animal which happens to be the object this site was developed and formed about. In addition to that, you post pictures of one of these animals which shows that, for whatever reason - one which you neglect to mention until someone notices - one of these animals has been horribly maimed and deformed through no fault of its own. And you only admit that fact in defense of another member's inquiry! That's almost like me posting an introductory picture of my kid with a limb missing and scars from a 3rd degree burn posing for a school picture and without even mentioning WHY or HOW they were injured! Then, when someone raises a VALID concern to one of your posts which says right out that you intend to BREED these beloved animals, you respond stating you took a course on genetics and then ask for validation of some corny statistical breakdown which literally had one member here just responding with an emoji's head banging against a wall, an illustration which requires no written description!

So please pardon some of us if we seem like we aren't "nice!" A site which is full of snake lovers who say "Welcome" to virtually anyone who introduces themselves, by the way. A site full of people who are probably frightened at the prospect of someone who probably meant no harm but who had a snake become horribly disfigured and then just gushes about beautifully the snake's scars are healing, who now wants to take on the responsibility of breeding these same beloved animals!?

Sorry Becky, but I'm from Brooklyn! And I've been around for quite some time. Maybe you should try playing Lotto instead.

Just sayin.
