Creamsicles that are amelanistic and het anerythristic. Though I'd keep the creamsicle as a nonbreeding pet.

An amelanistic corn snake lacks black pigment but still has the red/orange pigment. An anerythristic corn snake lacks the red/orange pigment but still has the black pigment. A snow corn snake is both anerythristic and amelanistic -- it lacks both red/orange and black pigments. A creamsicle is an amelanistic snake that is derived from a mating between a corn snake and a Great Plains rat snake. The mating could be one generation or many generations back in the ancestry.

A het anerythristic snake has a mutant gene for anerythristic paired with a normal gene. Such snakes still have red/orange pigment. It takes a pair of anerythristic mutant genes to produce an anerythristic snake.

" Creamsicles that are amelanistic and het anerythristic" are derived from a corn snake x Great Plains rat snake mating. They lack the black pigment but still have the red/orange pigment. Because they have one anerythristic mutant gene, they can produce some anerythristic babies if mated with another het anerythristic snake or an anerythristic snake.

Hope that is a little clearer.

You'll get 100% Creamsicles carrying Anery.

A creamsicle is not pure cornsnake - it is an Amelanistic hybrid ratsnake.

Yes. All of the babies are creamsicle het anery. Carrying anery means that the snake is het anery. The normal gene in the gene pair masks the presence of the anerythristic mutant gene so the babies carry an anery gene without showing the effect of the gene.

Here's the best corn snake genetics tutorial that I know of on the web:
Genetics

I don't know if you can get it on your side of the pond, but Pritzel's Cornsnake Morph Guide is good:
Cornsnake Morph Guide (tm)

Also Pritzel's Genetics for Herpers:
