Honduran Milksnake Genetics Question

So I've read "The Guide to Honduran Milksnakes" by Douglas Mong and James Tintle and this is my understanding of how breeding my current Milksnakes will play out. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I'm sure most of you here are a lot more experienced with breeding than I am.

I have 3 hondos.
(F) Hypo Tricolor
(F) Albino
(M) Snow

If I breed the Snow with the Albino I will get
1/4 Snow (Anery + Amel)
3/4 Albino (Amel)
or is it...
1/2 Snow
1/2 Albino

If I breed the Snow with the Hypo I will get
1/2 Ghost (Hypo + Anery)
1/2 Hypo (Hypo + Amel)

Please help me figure this out... lol, I'm really struggling here.

Unless I'm mistaken, all are recessive genes, correct? I'm more of hognose guy but here goes.

Anery, amel (male) X amel (female)=all albinos het anery
Anery, amel (male) X hypo (female)=all normal triple hets hypo, Anery and amel


I'd get a second opinion...

Thank you and I would also like other's input as well!
I really appreciate the quick input.

Jet76 is correct they are all recessive.

So if the Hype and Snow reproduce it will produce all tripple hets for Amel, Anery, and Hypo.

I'm not sure of the ethics of it but from what I read it's pretty mixed..
If I were to breed the offspring of these tripple hets what would I produce from them?

I want to check to see if I'm doing this punnet square thing correctly...
I'm using 9 squares with each genetic trait on the left and top of the squares and my math is telling me:
1/9 Anery
1/9 Hypo
1/9 Amel
2/9 Normal dbl het Amel/Anery
2/9 Normal dbl het Hypo/Anery
2/9 Normal dbl het Hypo/Amel

Hopefully this helps, these are hognose genetics but the same idea. This is from a triple het albino, Anery, hypo breeding x the same triple het. This is where it gets tricky.

So there's a 1/64 chance of a tripple homo?
This actually does clear it up.
Is the tripple het to tripple het what makes this more complicated?
Is it not recommended to breed tripple het to tripple het for beginners?

Nathan, most honduran keepers have replaced their triple-het male with a more potent male genetically speaking, to increase odds of producing multiple genetic offspring, for instance, a Ghost Het-Albino or Hybino Het-Anery would yield greater multiple genetic offspring.

To awnser your question, nothing wrong with breeding a triple-Het pair, just more chance of producing wild type offspring. :-)
