Hey guys,

I've been keeping and breeding Boas and Pythons for quite a few years now, but just ended up with a small group of corn snakes that came in on another deal earlier today and being that I know absolutely nothing on Corn Snake genetics (but know a good bit about Boa and Python genetics) I figured this would be the place to go to find out. I've tried to do some searched but all I can come up with is the normal names and not if there are more than one gene or not in the types of Corns I have. So I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out the genetics on these guys.

So this is what I've got:

Candy Cane- 1 gene or 2?
Double het. Anery Creamsicle- is Creamsicle 1 gene or 2?
Anery Motley- exactly the name right? An anery and motley; 2 gene snake
Anery Stripe- same thing as above?
Amelanistic- just an amel right? I think I get that one lol
Silver Queen Ghost- a hypo anery? or something more?
Normal- get that one too
Reverse Okeetee- is this a 2 gene or something like an albino okeetee?
Okeetee- 1 gene right? Or is this just a locality type thing?

Thanks for any help guys!

I'll give it a shot

Candy Cane- 1 gene or 2?
---Line bred Amel for good light/white background with orange/red saddles

Double het. Anery Creamsicle- is Creamsicle 1 gene or 2?
---Creamsicle is an amel cross of Emory Rat and Corn

Anery Motley- exactly the name right? An anery and motley; 2 gene snake
---You are correct

Anery Stripe- same thing as above?
---Yep

Amelanistic- just an amel right? I think I get that one lol

Silver Queen Ghost- a hypo anery? or something more?
---I think just a line bred hypo anery

Normal- get that one too

Reverse Okeetee- is this a 2 gene or something like an albino okeetee?
---Line bred amel for thick white borders

Okeetee- 1 gene right? Or is this just a locality type thing?
---Okes are either local animals from the Hunt Club in SC or normals the have the traits of that local(bright colors and thick black boarders)

I think this is correct but if I am off someone will correct me.
