Btw, she's ready for this season. If I breed her to a male snow, what the result will be?

Any help will be appreciated..
 
She is a Amel. If you breed her to your male snow, assumeing she is not het for anery you would get, amel het. anery.
 
depending on the hets of the snow and the amel..also their pattern hets..but if I"m correct..an amel female with a snow male would produce mostly amels het for anery and snow...I think...
 
Thanks everyone!

One more ask.. I got this one, my friend hatched it. It's from snow X motley but we didn't know if the parents het for anything..
Can anyone please identify this one too?

One of it siblings looks like a ghost.
 
That's a Normal. Doesn't look Motley, but if it has no pattern on its belly, then it is.

My guess is the "Ghost"-looking sibling is actually an Anery. It's more likely that the Normal parent was het for Anery, which would throw Anerys when bred to a Snow. We might be able to confirm if you have a photo - there are some pretty clear differences between Ghosts and Anerys.

Amel (no hets) X Snow => ALL Amel het anery , an amel het anery or amel het snow is the same with other name I think :spinner:
 
Would an amel male with a female snow have the same outcome of hatchlings being amels het for anery? Because that is what my snow if bred next year will be bred with. Sorry to hi-jack the thread but didn't see the point making my own for the same question :p

Exactly, if there are no other hets involved :)

Here's a link to a predictor if you want to play around with combinations ;)

Hope that helps,
 
I've just got that 'micks corn snake progeny' thingy and I've been sitting playing around with it, its great fun. I've learnt a lot from it just by playing around. I'm trying to learn as much as possible as I'm hoping to breed for the first time next year and I'm really nervous already haha.

So what do you think? And can you please tell me whatthe differences between ghost and anery (especially type A)? Thanks..
 
It looks like an anery A motley, but some ghosts (homozygous for both anery A and hypo) can be very dark (like some anerys can be very light). Only breeding trials can positively identify a ghost from an anery sometimes. However, since this particular snake is a motley, and the motley gene tends to make a snake lighter than it would be if it had a normal pattern, plus the fact that it's a sibling to your normal that is obviously not an adult yet (lighter for size comparison) and in my experience, anerys tend to be their lightest and most colorful when they are a subadult, I feel very sure that snake is an anery motley and NOT a ghost motley. For comparison, here is one of my anery motleys and ghost motleys as hatchlings/yearlings and at about 3-4 years old (the anery is getting darker as he gets older):

Is the snake in post #5 possibly a hypomel rather than basic normal? What do the experienced folks say? Does that take breeding trials or parental info to say for sure?
