Caramel is a form of anery so both will not show up together. In a clutch of babies from parents that are caramel (het anery) X Anery (het caramel) ----- the babies will be 50/50 of each.

From what I've been told, caramel and anerythristic are independant mutants. And both are recessive to their respective normal (AKA wild type) alleles. So caramel x anerythristic produces all normal looking babies that are heterozygous anerythristic, heterozygous caramel.

While there may be subtle hints than caramel is present in an anerythristic, caramel corn snake, I wouldn't count on it. The combination is more likely to be indistinguishable from anerythristic.

BTW, anerythristic (heterozygous caramel) x caramel (heterozygous anerythristic) produces
1/4 normal (heterozygous anerythristic, heterozygous caramel)
1/4 caramel (heterozygous anerythristic)
1/4 anerythristic (heterozygous caramel)
1/4 anerythristic, caramel
