Most corn snake traits are recessive. Which means when bred to a normal corn the traits "recede" and thus, cannot be seen in the offspring. Therefore the results of your breeding are exactly what you should of expected.
In order to make more motleys, you need to breed two snakes carrying the motley gene. In order to make sunglow (amel) you need to breed two corns that have the sunglow gene.
If genes don't "match up" in the parents doing the breeding, the traits will not be expressed in the offspring.
Breeding a sunglow motley to a sunglow motley will result in all sunglow motley babies (assuming the parents aren't het for any other traits).
