Quic Question Hets outcome

I recently bred a Classic corn Het Hypo lav stripe to a Creamcicle.

So far all babies appear normal...ie rootbeers because of the emori,
My Question is this......
What will happen when crossed back to parent.
And also sibling?
Thanks
 
If you cross the offspring to the creamsicle, you'll get rootbeers and creamsicles.

If you cross the offspring to the normal, it depends on whether or not they have the hets, in which case you might get rootbeers, hypo rootbeers, lavender rootbeers, stripe rootbeers, hypo stripe rootbeers, and hypo lavender stripe rootbeers.

If you cross the offspring together, you will get rootbeers, creamsicles, and potentially the same list as for the offspringxnormal parent with amel in the mix.
 
Thank you

Thanks, That sounds like an interesting project. What percentage would carry the traits,66%, 100?
 
The babies are all 100% het for Amelanistic (AKA Creamsicle) because they had a visual Amelanistic-based parent.

They are 50% possible het for Lavender, Hypo and Stripe because only one parent carried those traits, and because none of them were visual there's a 50/50 chance the trait was passed on.
 
Ok

Thank you, A few of them are lighter in color then the others, one of them almost an anery lavender color where the lighter whitish color should be, But with dark root beer saddles. I'm waiting till after they shed, to post pics.

P.s What did you mean by visual?
 
"Visual" is a shorter way to say "homozygous for a recessive gene". (And also the way to say "homozygous or heterozygous for a dominant or codominant gene" but that's not relevant to this particular usage).

I wouldn't assign too much meaning to the background colour between the saddles just yet - that's something that changes very quickly in baby corns. But if some of them have yellowy-orangey staining between the saddles on the neck, and others are pure stark pale grey, it's possible you've got some Anerythristics (Anerysicles? Fudgesicles?) in there.
 
Ok

So..... The little guy I thought was Anery was not, just a very reduced Root beer. Was wondering also, If these are considered to be root beer because of the cream mother, why don't they look it. Also being that the father was a classic corn I know that the offspring would be mostly corn anybody know the percentage/ratio.
Thanks.

Just like normal cornsnakes, 'normal' emoryi hybrids (aka rootbeers) probably have a bit of variation to them. Also, hatchling rootbeers are going to look different than adult rootbeers.

100% corn X 50% corn would theoretically result in 75% corn blood. It's kind of moot though, you can't really seperate out the different genes, a hybrid is a hybrid.
 
They don't "look it" because of the way the genes work. If I bred a golden retriever and a labrador together, the offspring would look like a combination of both. If I bred the offspring then to a golden, they'd mostly look like goldens, maybe with slightly shorter than normal fur. BUT I could NEVER sell them as "purebred" goldens because they have lab genes in them and those genes might pop up in the future and result in a short haired dog. It's just genetic roulette.
