What babies will I get

I am about to buy a pair of corns and want to know what they will produce when they breed?

Their parents were a striped albino and a ghost motley. I think this means they are are Motley (hypomenalistic) would this be correct? what are the odds of babies from these young?

albino means no red and anery means no black. A ghost is a hypo anery, it has no red and the black is faded. Since one snake has a domenant red gene (the albino) and the other has a domenant black gene (the ghost) your first generation, F1 will be all normal corns. They will however be het for a few things. Holding back a pair to breed together would give you all kinds of stuff.
Cheers,
Trevor

yup, from the looks of it, here's what you'd get:

Normal corns, Het Anery, Het Hypo, Het Amel, 50% het stripe, 50% het motley.

Line breeding the offspring would be like Xmas time... Anerys, hypos, amels, ghosts, snows, and if they were striped or motley hets, you'd get some of those too. That would be a nice clutch!

I just realized you said you're getting babies from the parents that were striped albino and ghost motley. So the babies you're getting are already Het Anery, Het Hypo, Het Amel, 50% het stripe, 50% het motley. So if you breed them together, you'll get the results I descibed above. Good luck with that in the future, that will be one colorful clutch.
