I am just looking for opinions. I would like to buy 2 more corns at the spring reptile show in calgary here and am wondering what would make some cool morphs with my current corn collection.

I have a female Snow corn
and a male anery het amel both have bred for me in the past

Any ideas?

I'd say try something in a pattern variety.
Either snow, amel or anery stripes, or perhaps snow, amel or anery motleys.

Breeding any of them to your current pair will allow you to test your current pair for being het stripe or motley.

Remember, the stripe and motley genes are compatible, so even an amel stripe would produce stripes or stripe-motleys if your female snow is het for stripe or motley. (And if your snow ISN'T het for stripe or motley you still get some morphs in the clutch.)

This past season I bred a male snow to a female anery motley het for hypo and got lucky as he turned out to be het for stripe.

The attached photo is my keeper from the clutch; a male anery striped-motley het for amel and 50% het for hypo.

Let us know what you end up purchasing.

Stripe seems pretty basic but what exactly is motley?

When my 2 breeded a few of the babies had kinda oppisite paterns
it may be hard to see in this pic

motleys have a circular pattern on their back. Stripe motley have stripes very similar to regular striped corns. Here are some motley pics and a normal amel stripe, and a hatchling motley with a normal sibling. Motleys and stripes also have a pure white belly with no checkers
