This one seems to be settled. But I liked part of the topic so here goes.

I think what some people keyed in on in your post was:

"I have always wondered if all orange corns were creams or if it is common for orange amels to pop up."

Now by mentioning "cream" 99.99% of people would think of the genotype. Amel x Emory = rootbeer -- rootbeer x rootbeer = some creamcicles. I think that part is right, main concept thought is creamcicles has an emory bloodline.

NOW, the reason I posted. Amels seem to vary like creams. I would think it POSSIBLE to selectively breed "pure amels" and get a snake to LOOK very similar to a variant of the creamcicle.

With that in mind, I would also say it is possible for a "pure amel" to throw out cream LOOKING amels.

I forget the term for variations, so natural selection can occur.

But I've said before, some day soon, we will have several different ways to get to a certain LOOK of corn. And genetically they all will be different to some degree.

For me, I'm looking for a blue or green corn, just to complete the color spectrum! lol

Take care.
