What do you mean by that strange question?

"What is a pure amel? What are the chances that they have only been bred with the amel gene only?"



Do you mean pure corn snake as opposed to intergrade or hybrid?



A caramel is a pure corn...an amelanistic caramel is a butter.

Guess what. That obviously makes a butter a pure amel.

You need to explain what in the world you are trying to say here.



If I breed a normal corn het amel to an anery het amel there is about a 25% chance I will get some amels.

If I do get any amels, are you insinuating that these will not be "pure" amels because they were not bred from amel to amel?

Or because they will be het anery this would somehow mean they are not pure amel?

If so.....man you are way off





Now, to go back and answer the original question..

In a clutch of 20 amels you can have twenty different levels of reds and oranges but there are definitely amels (pure corns carrying the amel gene) that are orange.

Look at the orange candy canes for instance. Candy canes are selective bred for the orange and the obvious candy cane "look"

Just think of all the amels from these pairings that carry the desired candy cane "look" but do carry the orange coloration.



Just because it has orange do not automatically assume creamsicle. Amelanistic corn snakes can and do express orange.
