Since a "snowcorn" is a double recessive mutation(amel x anerythristic), all the offspring will be 100% amel(no red pigment)and het(gene carriers)for anerythrism.

Just figure what like homozygous(visually showing) genes both parents have, and the offspring will also show the trait visually as well. The other un-like genes will not be expressed visually, but they will be recessive gene carriers of said trait.

There are tons of sites that give detailed explanations of most of the known morphs. And there are many good inexpensive books out too.

Here is just one such good site.
