If a Candy Cane and a Snow are crossed, what is the outcome? Would it be approx. 50Êndy Canes and 50% Snow?
Thanks

lines. Candy Cane is a line bred amel, so yes you would get 50/50 snows to amels. How much they look like snows depends.

Thanks for the response. That looks like what hatched out. 16 out of 16 hatched and it appears 9 candy cane and 7 snow.

heterozygous anerythristic.

Snow is a combination of amelanistic and anerythristic.

Both of your snakes are amelanistics, so all of the babies must be amelanistics, too.

The only way to get snow is to have each parent contribute an anerythristic mutant gene. As they produced snows, the candy cane must be heterozygous anerythristic.

By the way, the candy cane babies are also heterozygous anerythristic. Each one got a normal gene from the candy cane and an anerythristic mutant gene from the snow parent.
