Default jungle corns

I wondered, is there certain king/corns that people use to breed jungle corns? I will be looking at breeding maybe in 08 and i have an 05 desert king (splendida) that has no partner at the moment. I thought about breeding to another splendida becuase imo, it is a nice example but i think i would get stuck with the hatchlings because they are an overlooked species. I read in one of my books that splendida and nigrita intergrades are found in the wild and the yellow is replaced by white in these intergrades making a nicer looking splendida so maybe thats worth a go?. I was also thinking about jungle corns. Perhaps i could cross it with an amel corn to introduce the amel gene into the jungles? This would be my first year breeding so i dont want to bite off more than i can chew but im up for a challenge. Would i need a king snake partner to introduce before putting the corn in? anyway, opinions please but not just "everything should be pure" because i think personaly i would struggle to sell splendida hatchlings.

It doesn't have to be a Cali King - that's a common one though. We had an albino Pueblan milksnake x cornsnake at the shop last year - it practically glowed!
Personally if I was to breed a hybrid I'd go for the brightest combination possible - we are going for designer here, no point going for the 'natural' look! Unless you have albino genes already there, or something nice and bright I wouldn't bother - the last thing you want to be stuck with is a clutch of muddy-brown hybrids. Looks is what people have them for, if they haven't got the looks, they may not sell well at all.

How would you do triple combos?? Also if you put the King in with the Corn to breed wouldn't the King try to kill it and eat it straight away???

triples are a hybrid x pure, so you get genes from 3 different species. Corn x King I believe is very difficult because of the reason you say, but do-able if you know how, and know what you need to look for.
