Does anyone know what the outcome would be from this breeding? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

The result would be all normal-looking snakes that would be het for their parent's characteristics.

Just about every corn snake morph is a recessive trait, meaning you need to match a motley with a motley (or het for motley), an amel with an amel (or het for amel), etc., in order to produce a morph.

Bloodreds and sunglow motleys do not share any recesive genetic traits, so you'd be getting all normal-looking babies by breeding the two.

They're stunning animals, but not what people seek in amel bloods (fire corns). In my opinion, the target for albino bloodred is an all-red snake, with as little pattern showing as possible. I produced some of what you asked about years ago and was tempted to market them as sunglow bloods or sunbloods. They had amazing color saturation, but the motley influence (and the sunglow influence) ensured that no reds were displayed. Deep orange markings on a ligheter orange background is what was produced. As I said, they were beautiful, but contrary to the target looks of fire corns. Looking at one from the top, you were positive you were looking at a sunglow or sunglow motley, but the flip side revealed the traditional bloodred belly patterns. Head markings very pronounced. Just the opposite of a good FIRE.

Here is an example of an attractive two-toned fire corn (F2 sunglow X fire). You can see that orange dominated red, and in this example the white margins defeated the target look of a fire corn. If this were also a motley, the white margins would be gone, leaving a heavily marked, two-toned orange snake.

That was what I was ultimately curious about.

Lol thats not a snake its a piece of art. I take it your from warm climate by the plant

I have palms,etc all over my yard but no corns like that lol. We actually have had a few wild ratsnakes come by which is great

Thanks, Rita and all the other for appreciating that corn. Yes, we're in a pretty warm climate here in SW Texas, but nothing like the beauty of the Southeastern habitats of corns.
