will they bred and what could I expect?

I have a two year old female Okette corn. Next year she will be ready to breed. I met someone who has a beautiful albino corn male. I fell in love with it. I am thinking about asking this person if he would allow me to breed my Okette with his albino. Has anyone ever tried this combination? With success?
I am sure I would get some interesting colors. :rolleyes:

Actually you will get 100% het for amel (albino) babies. All normals, carrying the fathers trait. Okeetees are just normals with a variation in pattern. Some of the corns are like that, and not genetic morphs but more like a nice line of dogs. You know what I mean? :) Like CandyCanes. They aren't an actual morph. They are a color line of Amel. So you don't really have "het candy cane" because all it is, is an amel. As with Okeetee. Babies may come out a bit more Okeetee or a bit more normal depending on the Amels line.

*UNLESS* Your Okeetee or the Amel is "het" for anything. If say your Okeetee is actually an Okeetee het Amel then mating her with an amel with give you 50% Amel and 50% het Amel.

If I was you, since most likely niether are het unless you already know about it, I would find a stunning Okeetee male. There aren't enough REALLY NICE Okeetees in Canada but there are plenty of amels. But again depends on what you like :)

Good luck, and The Cornsnake Manual by Kathy Love is AWESOME for breeding. My female is about to lay and I cant stop reading it.
