i would say its probably the het for amel that makes the reduced black on the snakes... i have a high orange male and his belly background is almost red but has BLACK checkers... very friendly snake.. beautiful too... HUGE boy!! But i would say that since both are het amel (which i assume they are since you got amels when you bred them together) it would be the reduction of black "masking" the black pigment only letting a little come through...
