I am not very good a genetics but its basically like dogs.

Some Golden Retrievers are that deep orange, while others are light light blonde. Both are still pure bred animals but have both had parents that were most likely their color.

Amels have been line bred to look certain ways. Orange and white for candy canes, red and lots of white for candy canes too....no white for sunglows. etc. But they are all still amel. Its like Miamis and normals. A Miami is a just a normal with a slightly different color. A trait that has been passed down in that area.

I think I am close but yes the Cornsnake Manual explains it all clearly.

Thanks Marisa,

Have you ever seen the result of a bright red amel bred to a bright orange/yellow? I wonder what that would look like.
