Default Snow X Snow Cornsnake eggs!! How the heck did I end up with Amels and Snows!!!

As the title says, i have a clutch of 15 eggs hatching from a snow X snow corn breeding and so far I have one amel hatchling and one snow...I thought that was genetically impossible for that to happen?? Shouldn't snow X snow produce 100% snow hatchlings?? Any ideas as to whats happened??

a snow IS amel.. not "het" amel.. in fact a snow is amel anery, both genes must be present and being visually expressed in this colour corn

at a guess.. one of the snows.. is not a snow.. as in a standard amel+anery

pics of mum and dad ???

i have for instance a candy cane here.. who looks like a bubble gum snow.. the only reason i know she is candy.. is that i have known her since a hatchling and have seen her change with time.

i could stick 100 pics of her on here and you would all tell me she was a snow.. i know she is not..

well if one parent was blizzard het anery A x snow the the offspring would be 50% snow het charcoal, 50% amel het anery A, charcoal.

Other wise it's basically any other corn snake that looks like a snow het for anery but contains amel also lol.
