More picture are needed...not of the snake tho... or you!! LOL

Looks to be an amel hatchling.
Amelanistic - Without black pigment

But there are alot of morph out there now so it hard to say with out knowing the parents.
Carol has a thread going with pictures but I can't find it now so here another site you can look to see what I'm trying to say...

Click around in it...
 
It's an amelanistic ( lacking the pigment melanin, a dark pigment) also known as a 'red albino'. Pretty snake, she'll probably turn more orange as she grows.
 
well im looking to breed her when she is older. im thinking with a snow corn. any breeders out there thinking that will turn out a good idea
 
Yep, an amel.

Amel is a recessive trait. Snow is a combination of Amelanistic and Anerythristic (no red), so you would get 100% amelanistic offspring, unless your amel carries Anery in "het" form, in which case you would get amels and some snows.

is that gene more dominate then

Yes, you would get more amels.

It's not that the amel gene is more 'dominant' than the 'snow' gene. Most genes in cornsnakes are simple recessive expressed.

A snow cornsnake is homozygous recessive for both amel and anery.
An amel cornsnake is homozygous recessive only for amel.

If you want to have a certain outcome when breeding, both parents must have a recessive copy of the gene you want (that means both parents either have to be homozygous recessive, or heterozygous for the gene you want)

Unless your amel is also heterozygous (het) for anery, the only thing you will get out of amel x snow is amel's
 
has any one got any good ideas to breeding with this snake then. wot kind of corn would give a beautiful off spring
 
I think it depends on what you think is beautiful. Some people have a certain morph that they absolutley love! So, I would look around and see which ones you really really like, and see if you can get that by breedin a certain type of snake to her.

Just as a warning. Becareful, these get addicting. Lol

i take it u mean the breeding, ive had a look at some of the snakes on here i think there's loads of lovely snakes. and i think one of them was a amel that had strips going from head to tail i'd love to get a few lil ones like that

Lol, well what I meant by that is, just having snakes in general is addicting. Breeding, I'm not sure I haven't gotten there yet.

If your looking for a "Amel Stripe" from your description.. It would take more than one breeding. You would have to buy an Amel Stripe, breed the two.. Then the hatchlings should all be "het" for Amel stripe and then the product of those snakes would maybe have some Amel Stripes..

I would either try to find out the genetics of your snake. And if you want to produce some amel stripes, maybe buy some more that are het stripe.. I'm not great at genetics.. So maybe wait on someone else to answer that one. Lol, so basically wait for someone to confirm or say I'm wrong. Ha! Good luck on whatever you decide to do.
 
ok then well thanks for the info. well i guess i'll see who pops up with any stripped amels, and go from there
