Well, if you breed any of those three to your remaining Normal, then you'll just get Normal hatchlings.
In order to get any of the morphs, you'd need to keep a male and female hatchling, raise them for three years and then breed them together. You'd still get Normals, but mixed with the different morph. It's a long-term project.
Personally, I'd hang onto the Snow, as this carries both Anery and Amel - it will give you a better chance of getting those colours in any hatchlings that you produce.
By the way, you might want to get more details of the three on sale, as "Silver" and "Black Albino" are not accepted Corn Snake morphs. Unless you have accurate information, there's no telling what you'll end up with if you decide to breed.
Good luck!

Another thing not mentioned yet is that if you're planning on breeding something common like Anery A, you are going to want to make sure you have a good avenue to sell them or get rid of them or else you're going to end up with 15 baby snakes you can't get rid of and that can be costly!
Just thought I'd put that on your mind as well.

Yes. I had this problem with a litter of 15 rabbits a few years ago. It was a nightmare!

Thank you for your agreement and the rep good sir. I think that is a big thing people don't think about when they breed the first time, especially with lower end morphs, as I know it was something I basically overlooked and my brother overlooked with his BP's. We were both fortunate, however, and were able to get them sold off without too much hassle. My suggestion to the OP would be to find your market and THEN breed your snakes so you're not sitting on 15 babies. If you were planning on keeping them all and forming a colony, then go for it
Hope that helps and glad you came to the forums PR
