I am pretty naff when it comes to meanings of different morphs ect..
On the small tub that our baby snow came in it says "100% HET Coral Snow" I was just wondering what it meant by that? Iv been looking at websites with different types of corns on them and saw there was a coral snow, and was wondering if that is what i have or is it just a normal snow, either way shes still beautiful, i was just curious 
Also our snow and our amel have like a chequered pattern on their bellys, iv tried getting a pic but my camera is naff and they are to quick lol was wondering if these markings where anything special.
And one last question, my partner wants to make babies with our snow in the future when shes older and we know more about it and more clued up on it all, we are taking our amel saturday to get sexed and hopeing its a He, if a female snow and male amel breed what will the result be? |

i have just bred a normal with a ghost (both regular pattening)
and i have sumhow produced 2 amel motleys
does that mean they are both het for amel and motley |

thanx |

thats someone hyping up a snow het hypo to help it sell ;)
for recessive morphs a hatchling needs to inherit the mutant gene from both parents for it to be visual - if only one mutant gene is inherited (which means a normal version is inherited from the other parent) it will be het. Because recessive hets don't have any influence on the look of an animal it will look normal |

No, not quite, if you bred an Amel and a Motley you would end up with Normals, het Amel and het Motley. |

Starting to make sense now, so if you bred an amel and a motley with no hets, it would come out amel....??
So hets are what you'd be after if you wanted to breed some different varieties then??? |

cornsnake morphs:
one morph only is dominant over normal - Tessera
none are codominant with normal
all the rest are recessive to normal
There are also 'allelic' morphs, which means more than one morph lives at the same locus:
Amel and Ultra are codominant, so het amel het ultra is an ultramel
Motley is dominant over Stripe, so het motley het stripe looks motley

In Corn Snakes, almost all genes are Recessive.
Other Snakes like Royal Pythons have many different morphs that are Co-Dominant or even Dominant. |

I think all genes are recessive to normal, but Ultra is codominant with Amel, so if you have a snake which is het for both ultra and amel (Ultramel), you get snake which looks visually different to a normal. |

you say albino is a recessive gene, can you get dominant genes, and if so what happens if a snake has one gene that is dominant and the rest all the same ie normal, will this show normal or as the dominant gene? |

Yep, if you have 2 snakes het for the same gene (eg Anery), then you could have Anery Babies.
Or if you have one snake who is het for Anery and another which is visually an Anery, you could also get Anery babies. |

Just start off trying to learn the single trait morphs. If you do a search you will find the deffinition of a het, and it pretty easy then.
The only difficult thing is trying to remember all the names of the morphs, but you should get the hang of the more common ones pretty quickly. |

jeeez, there has got to be something somewhere that explains morphs, hets, etc etc in simple english, i've looked on ians vivarium but its still like a foreign language to me. Starting to understand the patterns ie, amel, anery, motley, stripe etc but getting confused with diffused, hypo, snow etc.
I think so many people would benefit if someone was to start a thread starting from the begining and teaching a little more each night/week. might have a chance of being able to get my head round it then. |

Its a snow according to the original post, thats why i was a little confused as yo why the tub would say, snow het coral snow, when in actual fact it would just be het Hypo.
