You seem to be confusing morphs with species.
an Emroryi (Great Plains) rat is a separate species.
an amelanistic version of an emoryi rat snake X corn snake mix is a creamsicle ( we won't go into the displeasure of that name at this time)
corn snakes expressing anery, amel or hypo (for example) are expressing different morphs.
They are still pure corns and are genetically just what they are, anerys, amels or hypos.


His question was simple, are there orange amels or are orange amles creams.
Not not all orange amels are creamsicles.
Pure amel corn snakes can have orange.
creamsicles are amelanistic emoryi/guttatus mixes and do tend more towards oranges.


How is an amel het anery not a pure amel?
A normal het amel is still genetically a normal.
An anery het amel is still genetically an anery.
An amel het anery is still genetically an amel.


your analysis that an amel het anery is not a pure amel and it is almost impossible to have a pure amel is confusing to say the least.

Amelanism is a lack of melanine (black) resulting in brighter remaining colors and red/pink eyes.

If a snake is amelanistic it is amelanistic.

going back to your amels with caramel in them.
I would assume you mean amel het caramel?
That is at least what it appears to be. With Caramel it seems to add more yellow even in het animals.
But an amel het caramel is still exactly that an AMEL het caramel.
If it is pure corn and amel that makes it pure amel.
If it is pure corn and amel and het caramel it is simply that a pure amel het caramel.
