What could they be?

[Buschjs]

My first clutch ever is pipping right now, but they are far from what I expected. The male was sold to me as a creamsicle, and the female anyteristic. The eggs that have pipped look like an amel or creamsicle of some sort. I was just wondering if anyone could help me with the genetics and what the offspring are? Any help is greatly appreciated.

P.S. I will post pics as soon as They are out of their eggs.

Thanks

Justin

I'm not sure if this will help you or not, but you can give it a shot while you're waiting for someone here to give you an answer.

Going by the info you've said so far...

Those amelanistic looking ones should be called Creamsicles Het Anery.
Any normal looking ones, should be called Rootbeers Het Amel Het Anery.

Wait, aren't creamsicals and intergrade of Rat snake and corn? Are you sure the program handles the genetics properly in this situation? Let me know if I am wrong.

Because I got some amel looking ones, does this mean that my anery female is het for Amel?

You're right, it is an intergrade between a Emory's (or Great Plains) ratsnake and a cornsnake, but the genetics are basically the same.

Amel and Creamsicle are the same gene, you just use the term Creamsicle when refering to the intergrades and Amel when it's pure cornsnake.

Because I got some amel looking ones, does this mean that my anery female is het for Amel?

Yes, it does.

Excellent. I now have a proven het that I wasnt expecting in my female.

Thanks for the help.
