Well he didn't say "slight bloodred twist" that was my way of putting it lol.

He thought that maybe it had a small amount of Bloodred in it as well as Amel?

I think she's pretty either way =) And thanks for the response.

I would agree and say she is a dark Amel, her red is more dark red rather than the bright red shown in the pictures on Ians viv.

So if she were a mix of Amel and Bloodred would she look different than what she does do you think? I think she wouldn't have such solid Amel qualities if she was a mix, but then I'm no expert lol.

if she was amel + bloodred, then she'd be a 'Fire' - http://iansvivarium.com/morphguide/fire.php

yours doesn't look fire because I can't see any diffusion on the lateral pattern, and theres no 'baldy' pattern on the head that bloodred gives.
Bloodred also gives a plain white belly, so this is an easy test ;)

Oh I seeeee, that makes sense now lol. So it's basically a dormant gene, unless they were to breed with another snake that held the same gene. Therefore making a hybrid of whichever genes they hold lol.

not a hybris because a hybrid would be two different snakes like a corn and a king snake. its just makes different morphs of corns. have a read on the link eeji gave you. the link will take you to a specific morph but browse that site it explains it a lot better than i can

Het = Heterozygous and basically means different.

Genes come in pairs so if the pair is different, i.e. 1 Normal Gene and 1 Amel Gene, the snake would be 'het Amel'.

As Amel is a recessive gene to normal, the snake will appear normal.

If the genes are the same they are Homozygous (the same) i.e. 2 x Amel genes and the same will appear as Amel.
