I have read that a snow corn is the combination of amel and anery. In knowing this, what would my 1st generation be if I breed my anery motley to the following:

amel motley?

sunglow motley?

Will these make snow motley?
THANKS!

normal motley het amel assuming they are not het for anything else.

sorry they would be normal motley het for amel and anery (snow).

100% motlies, het amel and anery (assuming no hidden compatible hets). You cannot get snows from these animals (without those hidden hets), but you can get snow motlies from breeding the babies you produce to each other in a few years.

What about if I go straight to a snow motley? Will ther be some snows in the 1st generation offspring or just hets?

Thanks for the input, I am still trying to figure out the world of corn snake gentetics.

If you type the words...."cornsnake genetics" in a "Google search", you will have more "hits" than you know what to do with on the subject!!, then you will soon understand all you need to know regarding genetics......hope this helps,............Doug

Better to be silent and thought a fool, than to open mouth and remove any doubt!

You can get snow motlies from that cross IF your anery motley is also het for amel. That's entirely possible, since amel is perhaps the most common mutant gene found in corns, but the only way to know for certain is to breed them and find out for yourself.

Hope that helps a bit....
