Can someone point me to a good website for cornsnake color genetics and "morph" names?

Thanks so much! I am trying to think about what can be combined with a Sunglow Amel Stripe male, to make something interesting... guess I have my studying to do!
OTOH, anyone have a suggestion? ;-D

Really good striped amels are outstanding in their own rights in my opinion and breeding to produce better colored examples is always a good route to go. If you want diversity, go with a butter to eventually get butter stripes along with amel stripes.
Breeding a butter to a sunglow stripe amel would produce what colors?

All the babies would be amel, het for caramel (butter) and het for stripe. You would not get butters as a butter is an amel caramel. Now, if working with a very nice sunglow, which is a line bred amel to highlight the coloration, adding the butter into the mixture will dilute that. The babies would be fairly typical amels. However, I do notice that amels het. caramel (butter) are a bit brighter and nicer colored than regular amels.
So I take it that there are no butters that are also sunglow, at least genetically speaking?
Sounds like an interesting project.
Do you think breeding the feisty snake I wrote about in the other thread will produce more "feisty" offspring? Or is frequent handling of the young likely to calm them down regardless? Anyone have experience with this kind of temperament thing?

Well, there could be "sunglow" butters. Once again, keep in mind that sunglows are nothing more than line bred amels. A sunglow bred to a sunglow will not produce 100 percent sunglows all the time and some of the babies may look like typical amels. If someone bred a caramel or a butter to a sunglow, then I could see some linebreeding being done to better the coloration of the butters. Some butters have so so background coloration that looks pale yellow or off white, while some have deep yellow backgrounds. Just like some amel corns have pale pink background coloration while sunglows have a more orangish color.
I think temperament if varibable in all clutches. I have had vicious females produce docile babies and vice versa. I think handling is the key to gentling any smake for the most part.
The list Tim gave you is excellent
1 I really like Ian's Vivarium, cause he allows people to upload their own examples of each morph. That way you see all the variations within the morphs and not jut a pcture perfect example.
