What Morphs are these and other questions....

[Blakkdragon]

So I have a few babies snakes that I haven't sold or given away yet and I was curious of their variation and value.

The female is amel i think? I have no previous history of her. Here's pic:

Here's a picture of the male... also no history.. But i believe hes charcoal because no yellow line on his neck. Pic:

And here are their babies which I would like to know atleast what morph they are and their value?

Female is an amel. The male is either an anery or a charcoal, but that will take breeding trials. The first baby is a normal, the other 2 are amels.

 

[Blakkdragon]

Whats the chance that they are het? or how does that work?

 

[Shiari]

Because most corn snake morphs are simple recessive, in order to be *visually* expressing a morph that snake must have two copies of the gene, and it must have received a copy from each parent.

So the amel has 2 amel genes. Your anery-thing has 2 of whatever-type-of-anery-he-is genes. Neither of them can give a 'normal' gene at the location those genes reside, because they are homozygous for the mutant gene.

So the amel MUST give 1 amel gene to her offspring, and the anery-thing MUST give 1 anery-thing gene to his offspring. Anery-thing has proven to be het for amel, but because his mate is an amel, this doesn't result in the fun game of possible hets. All the offspring from these two will either be normals het for amen and anery-ish or amels het for anery-thingy.

Ok. Another question, What is the possibility for blizzard between these two? I thought if you bred amel plus anery = blizzard? I'm new to this genetic stuff

Amel and anery make a snow, not a blizzard.

 

[Blakkdragon]

But its charcoal?

 

[AliCat37]

You cannot be certain that is a charcoal unless you breed it to a known charcoal. The yellow that shows up on corn snakes often times has to do with the food they eat. I'd have to find the article again, but yellow along the neck doesn't mean anything in regards to an anery vs a charcoal.

Amel x anery = normals het amel and anery
F1 x F1 offspring = amels, anery, snow, and normal.

I found something that says its in the eyes, anery tend to have more silver?

 

[Rigby & Marcy]

:rofl:

Amel x anery = normals het amel and anery
F1 x F1 offspring = amels, anery, snow, and normal.

Unless the amel was already het anery, &/or the anery was already het amel, which would give the same possibilities of amel, anery, snow and normal.

Not always so. My charcoal had lighter eyes than some of my aneries.
