hello 2 all from cleveland!!!
im new on the board as to corns!i used to be into the big guys burms,boas,that sort of stuff up until about a yr ago?
when i was working in a local crappy pet shop owned by my crappy uncle!
and a woman came into to give up her snake and her tank was stuffed with carefresh so i couldnt see the snake?but when i dug down and pulled out a big beautiful (f)snow corn iwas hooked!!!i had never even liked corns until i seen her!so i said instead of putting her on the floor for sale we'll just keep it between us and i'll take her home :sidestep: ?the lady could care less???
now my question is can anyone predict what would come from breeding her to a sunglow (m)?im not sure of what ever terminology you use to describe like anery,het or none of it:shrugs:?but he's a true sunglow very bright!and she's a snow...
any help or tips would be awsome thanx and god bless..............................
 
Sunglows are a type of amel specifically bred for bright colors and little to no white.

What you would get out of that clutch, without any extra hets, is amels of varying quality, all het for anery.
 
shiari thanx 4 the fast reply but i dont fully understand the"herp language"lol
i understand "het" is what they're are able to produce,right?
but amels ,anery throw me a bit?amel being no white?
 
Het refers to what an animal carries genetically with regards to recessive genes but cannot display due to having only one copy of the gene.

So hets refer to genotype. Morph refers a little more to phenotype (what the animal actually looks like). That's why you can have a "normal" corn snake that has the partial genetic code for any multitude of other morphs, but still look like a normal, classic corn snake.

Snows come about from animals that are homozygous (carrying two copies of the same recessive gene, and thus displaying it phenotypicallys) for anerythrism (without-red) and amelanism (without-black). That's why they are white or mostly so. Both the black and red pigment have been repressed by those two recessives.

Sunglows are amels. They lack black pigment. Where this black pigment was, white shows up. Sunglows are specially bred to have less white (not from recessives, but just from traditional like-to-like breedings) and their polar opposite in the world of amels is the Reverse Okeetee which is bred to have a great deal of white.
 
Pairing your snow (genetically amel + anery) with your sunglow (selectively bred morph but genetically "just" an amel) would produce all amels (amelanistic basically means lacking black) that carry one copy of the gene (heterozygous, "het" for short) for anery (anerythrism which basically means lacking red). If you were to breed those babies together, you would get both amels and snows.
