so i just got home from a local show where i picked up a few new additions to my collection.(pics will be up soon)i got a high white reverse okee and 2 others which is where the question comes in. they are offsprings of a candycane and a ghost. they appear to be normals so the question is would they be het for amel,anery and hypo?if so when bred back to each other i should get some of all the hets correct?

yes they would be het amel, het anery, het hypo
breed these together and you could/should get normals, amels, anerys, hypos, snows, hybinos (homo for amel and hypo), ghosts and even possibly hypo snows (homo for amel, anery and hypo)

my high white reverse okee

Very nice!,.....

Yes, as Jimmy mentioned, your potential offspring from these triple hets can be quite a variable mix of phenotypes and genotypes(het, what they aren't visually showing, but are trait carriers of).

This is what the mathematical odds actually breaks down to be. But keep in mind, this is simply theoretical, and just like if you tossed a coin up in the air 20 times, the odds of it doing so exactly 10 times are very unlikely. Your results will certainlt vary, but this is what you could expect to get from that breeding. And also, whatever morph, or combination of morphs isn't actually seen, it will be "possible" het for, because you cannot distinguish which snakes are, or are not the heterozygous gene carriers.

it goes as follows...........

Parents are both triple het for amel, hypo, anery....
