Tim, did you produce that amel? That's a great-looking snake.

Yes - you would get Caramel het hypo.
If your caramel is het hypo you might get some amber.

And yes - caramel X amel will produce double hets.

If you are lucky, your caramel is het amel (some say that amel gene may be more common than wild type at this point) and half the clutch will be amel het caramel.

Using terms like "het butter" should be discouraged, I do it from time to time but it is technically incorrect - it is double het for caramel and amel, 1/16 of offspring from double het pairing will be butter - 3/16 will be caramel 66% het amel and 3/16 will be amel 66% het caramel.

Buy the Corn Morph Guide - it explains it all fairly well.

your best bet when it comes to figuring out breeding results is to download a progeny calculator / corn snake calculator. There are a few out there. Also, I recommend getting the corn snake morph guide.
