    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Ok, so I am new to breeding, and my remembrance of high school biology is slim to none, but i was wondering if anyone knew or could direct to somewhere I could read about genetics of cornsnake morphs, I currently have a male creamsicle, and a female hypomelanistic anyone have any clue on what they would theoretically produce? I remember the pundit square theory but Im just not sure of whether they are recessive or dominant or what traits, wo any info would be helpful. And one off topic question I read in someones classified something aout they are adimantly against creamsicle corns, is there a bad gene that comes along with them or could it possibly have been a personal preference issue?? thanks in adavance.

Creamsicles are a result of crossing Emoryi's ratsnake with cornsnake, so they are considered hybrids or intergrades. There are some people who do not like hybrids/intergrades, and some of them are extremely vocal (and obnoxious) about it. It is always important to label your offspring accurately when selling them.

Amelanism and Hypomelanism are two separate recessive mutants. :)

Creamsicle X hypo corn would produce "rootbeer" (the name for normal offspring of corn X emoryi) and they would be het for amelanism and hypomelanism. In the second generation, the amels would be considered Creamsicles, and the hypos would be considered Cinnamons.

Not to complicate things but I think it would be best to stay away from the term "intergrade" when referring to creamsicles or rootbeers.

An intergrade is an intermediate form of two subspecies through a series of NATURAL and gradual merges along their borders.
The captive breeding of two subspecies is simply a subspecific cross.
