What are we?

Yeah - I don't particularly like the naming convention - root beer if it is a "normal", creamsicle if it is amel, etc. - I personally wish there was ONE name for snakes with heritage from both and the morphs were used as an adjective for that ONE name (IE amel root beer, snow root beer, bloodred root beer, whatever root beer)

But I've seen numerous creamsicles listed as creams that are 75/25 cross etc. - I believe the trade has pretty much settled on any amel of that cross, regardless of the ratios, being called a cream.

Once you are past the F1 - you really don't know the ratios of genes from one species to the other anyway, as it will vary. Only the F1 cross will have exact known ratios of where the genes come from. While highly highly unlikely, it is theoretically possible for an F2 to have all it's genes from one species and none from the other. I highly doubt it ever has happened, but it's possible. So an F2 cross of 50/50 may actually be 63/37 - with 63% of the unique genes (genes not in both species gene pools) being corn in origin opposed to rat, etc.

Just a reply to let you know I'm excited to see someone else mentions this, since not too many people seem to realize this. If I tell them some even feel short from insulted.

I got a surprise (aka unplanned) clutch this year and out of 18 eggs, two made it. I'm thrilled since I've never had nor planned on having eggs.

Not trying to get off topic here but....... Yet another un-planned breeding. Co-habbing? tsk, tsk, tsk.
Is it just me or does it seem that we have more then the "usual" unexpected breedings this year. Nine times out of ten the only way you could possibly have an un-planned breeding is if you were co-habbing. There are a ton of threads on this forum which discuss this topic in great depth. I just don't get it. I guess it comes down to ignorance, selfishness, just plain not caring or a combination of all three. :shrugs:

Now, back to your question. If you bred a Snow (Amel + Anery) to a Creamsicle (Albino Corn x Albino Emoryi) all of the offspring will be Amelanistic (barring any unknown hets). Because one of the parents is a hybrid (Corn x Emoryi) then the offspring will all be hybrids as well. The amount of Emoryi blood is reduced/diluted but nonetheless they are still a hybrid. Because your offspring are Albino and have Emoryi blood in them they are, in fact, Creamsicle all of which will be het Anery. Hope this helps.

Excuse the rant in the first paragraph, for which I am not sorry, but it seems that we are seeing a lot more of the "oops" and the "un-planned" breedings this year. If people kept their snakes in separate vivs/bins things like this would not happen.
