What would these pair produce?

The female looks to be normal and the male seems to be an amel. If those are true, with no hidden hets, then you'll get all normal babies het for amel...
 
Hellstrom's right. If you have questions about such things in the future, check out www.corncalc.com. It's a genetics/morph predictor that's easy to use - and fun to play with!
 
I was told that if the eggs Look 'wet & slimy' that they are infertile. They are soft and slightly sticky, but I thought it was due to being laid
 
They look mostly like duds to me. The eggs dry *very* quickly after being laid, but the duds continued to be particularly soft/mooshy and a bit sticky.
 
i didn't think the eggs looked particularly good either...definitely a few slugs in the middle, but the "white" eggs look very slimy. you'll know for sure in a few days!

Not to be rude, but why breed if you don't even know what you're breeding?

I am breeding corn snakes, just don't know the morphs. What's the big deal? This is for me, not for anyone else....so I can breed whatever I want.

Sorry, you were rude.

Yes you can, but good luck with feeding and cleaning up after that much corn snakes...
 
Since they are all probably slugs, doesn't look like I have anything to worry about, but I appreciate your concern. Cleaning up after snakes is something that is pretty easy.

Besides, if you really want to know another reason for breeding,it's to practice incubation for when I breed my green tree pythons next year.


And yeS, I was going to eke majority of the babies, those that I didn't give away
 
Maybe it's just me, but looking at the side and dorsal patterning of the male, I want to say he's an Amel Motley. Does he have a clear belly? If he does, then that would make the hatchlings het for Amel Motley. As others have said, the eggs don't look viable, but it would be something to be aware of.

How old is she? I had 4 first timers this year that produced 10+ egg clutches with 100% fertility. Could be the timing was off, the temps were bad, she didn't have a lay box she was happy with and held on to the eggs too long, the male's not fertile, they didn't actually breed (was it witnessed?), could be a million things and usually you'll never know.
 
They all look like dudes to me too...I breed my corn snakes for the very first time this year as well...my oldest female is 5 yrs old laid 21 eggs, only two of which seemed to be fertile and those died half way or more through the incubation process do to to much handling/candling on my part, because I was new at it and just learned the very very hard way....but anyway, just be sure you got everything you need to be able to take care of them before the last minute next time around if you do breed them anymore. I've got 19 healthy eggs right now on day 52 so I'm very excited, this is from one of my other females obviously not my oldest one. Good luck with everyting!
 
My first timers have produced 100% fertile clutches. How old is your male? He looks young so he might not yet be fertile.
 
Yeah, they still feel soft except for one that is hard, but I am thinking they are all infertile.

The female is around 3 now...got her Nov. 2008

The male Almost 3 too.

I will try again next year maybe. If I get 1 from the other clutch of 3 eggs, that'll be it. Won't breed them again.
