Thanks. I was hoping the light gray and the red eyes meant she was Ultramel. Ultramel is a funky kind of morph so the typical genetic figuring doesn't hold true. Ultramel is a snake that is het for both Ultra (a form of hypo) and Amel. The Ultra gene "lives" at the same location as the Amel gene. So her Ultramel mom was genetically normal, het Ultra, het Amel, het Charcoal (Aka Ultramel het Charcoal). So there is no guarantee any of the babies inherited her Ultra gene. You can have a snake with 2 Ultra genes (would be hypo), 2 Amel genes (would be albino) or 1 Ultra and 1 Amel gene (would be Ultramel). So a Blizzard x Ultramel het Charcoal pairing could give you:
Normals het Charcoal & Amel
Normals het Charcoal & Amel & Ultra (aka Ultramel het Charoal)
Amels het Charcoal
Charcoals het Amel
Charcoals het Amel & Ultra (aka Charcoal Ultramel)
which is why I wasn't 100% sure if she was a Charcoal het Amel or a Charcoal Ultramel.
I do not know the percentages of the above combos.
Regardless I love her. Haven't had this tiny of a baby corn in a long time.
Here is a picture of my Plasma (Lavender Blood) girl that I got along with the Charcoal. Pictures do not do her justice...
