you would get all normals het for amel and anery, if your normal carries no hets. imo it is hard to find a normal with no hets these days. if your normal is het anery or amel you would get some anery or amel or both along with normals het anery and amel

if the snow had some other hets and the female does not then the babies will be het for the same trait, but you wont know what the trait is until you prove it out by breeding the babies to each other(f2). if your female and male have hets that you dont know about like hypo(which was my surprise) it will show up in the first generation(f1) also i forgot to mention b4 that if your normal is het amel and anery you will get snows also.
so if that is the case you would get amels, anery's, snows, and normals with some being het and some not. and dont forget the surprises you just dont know about being their it makes for an exciting hatch.

Most normals aren't "normal," unless they're wild caught. The most likely offspring scenarios are: normal looking babies, anerys, and amels - or some combination of these traits. You cannot make an accurate judgement call without knowing the genetics of the snakes you have - just an educated guess.

Female corn snakes are typically bred at a minimum size of 36 inches. Males do not have to be quite that long.
