>>Yeah Kev I hope there's more. I did some checking around on one of the big Cornsake forums and there was some controversy over what is in the Candy Canes. One thread said there was some Amel Emory involved? I don't really know. It looks very interesting whatever it's called and I can't wait to see it or them grow and shed a few times. Most of the eggs still haven't even pipped. All this waiting is so hard, lol.

Candy canes are selective bred amels. I'm sure there are a few that may not even have "Miami" in them but the contrasting background to saddles in Miamis translate better in amel versions and I would venture to say that most of the best candy canes are selective bred amels from Miami stock.
There was a mention in Kathy Love's first book of one of the early breeders trying emoryi to help get the whiter background with his candy canes but I would imagine the emoryi influence brought a little too much yellow into the mix. But this was years ago and one breeder. I seriously doubt there are any lines of candy canes out there that have any emoryi in them.
At least no more emoryi then any other corn snakes being bred in captivity today.
