I have had trouble finding the info I need concerning candy cane corns, as far as I understand they are just selectively bred to enhance the amelinastics colours?
I have paired a candycane female up with a amel motley male, can i tell the candy canes from the regular albinos somehow or will they alle be an intermediate cross? I see some of them are more orange then red and generally they are all more pure white then my other amel babies.

Thanks

Mark

I'm not sure at all on this. But I think you'd get mostly a middle between a nice candy cane and the amel. A bit like outcrossing a pattern.
try

http://www.kornnatterlexikon.de/index.php?action=2§ion=222#CANDY CANE

That site also says motlry is co dom. But I thought it was a recessive gene? If co dom, patterns would change is some. If recessive all would be het for motley.

Hopefully someone knows for sure. I thought I'd kind of prime teh pump for more responces

candy cane is a selectively bred amel.
They would basically be amels that could look anywhere from candy cane to typical amel to somehwere in between and they would be het motley.

Is the fact that these snakes would "normally" have a darker
background coloration, as in the "Miami" phase......when these snakes are introduced to the amel gene, it voids the dark pigment
in the background, and is replaced with more white, whereas most other cornsnakes would still have a tendency to have an "underlying" orange/red coloration remain once dark pigment(melanin) is removed.
