Sorta a two part question.

I just have a question as I don't wanna be misleading when selling my snakes. I have put the same pair together for 2 years in a row now. The mother is a snow(amel'anery) and the father an anery for sure just not sure what hidden genes he has.

Last year from 9 eggs I had 8 snow and 1 anery
This year from 13 eggs so far 4 snow 3 anery

So is it safe to assume male is at least het amel?

So all the anery babies would also be het amel?

Lastly could some baby's be anery A and others anery B? Are both compatible with each other like if the mom is snow from anery a and the dad an anery B would you get half of each?

If you are getting snow than the male is het amel.
Since the mother is homo amel (she is if snow) then any young that do not display amel are het amel.

If I understand the pairing correctly -

You have:
dbl homo aneryA amel (snow - mother)
homo aneryA het amel (father)

All the young will be anery and statistically, half of them will be snow and half with be het amel - as the young must get an amel gene from the snow mother.

As far as I know, Anery A and Anery B are not allelic - but apparently it is not too uncommon for snakes to carry both, IE it is possible that you have some AneryB (charcoal) being thrown into the mix.

I think the only way to find out for sure is to breed both to corns that are AneryB and known NOT to cary AneryA. If such a mating produced Anery then you know that AneryB genes are present.
