anery and snow babies came out normal....

Ok, I'm a bit confused, but most my posts start with that, as you can tell.

I had a male snow mate with a female "anery." I got her in a trade, and she doesn't look exactly like a corn. I have her in with my ghost corn, and something never really sat right with me on that one. She looks really close to a corn, but I know corns are sometimes called red rat snakes, and I know some other snakes can reproduce with corns, to make babies like my creamsicle I have. Anyway, here's my question. When my snow and "anery" bred, I would have gotten all anery het for amel, right? I should have had no normal babies, right? Am I missing something, or is this proof that I have something not anery? Any help would be good.

By the way, the babies came out three normals, and two "anery" colored, but zig zag. They look really cool. I'm keepin' one of the zig zags. Thanks for everyone's help, you guys are awesome!

Yes, mating a snow to an anery should give all anery het amel babies.

Do you have a picture of her on your computer that you could post here?

Perhaps she is not anery but charcoal (anery b), which would give you normal babies.
