By pedigree and by breeding results.

All the babies from a snow x amelanistic mating are amelanistic, heterozygous anerythristic.
That youngster sounds like an amelanistic Miami phase (AKA candycane). AFAIK, nobody has worked out the genetics of Miami phase, so it isn't in Mick's corn snake progeny predictor. FWIW, I think Mick's CSPP is the best genetics program available for corns.
