If you want to breed more of a particular cornsnake color morph (not breed ), unfortunately you WILL have to read up on snake genetics to understand what you're doing. I haven't had cause to research that one myself, but I know the information is out there and readily available.

in order to get motleys, you will need both parents to carry a motley gene. Sunglows are technically a result of selective breeding of the amelanistic gene, or albino. Best way to get them is to breed two sunglows.
If you breed two motley sunglows, you should get all motley sunglows (or at least motley albinos that have a minimal amount of white on them- again, sunglow is from selectively breeding albinos with the least amount of white possible).

Sunglow motley is one of my favorite morphs. This is our big boy-

We had a gorgeous baby girl, but she died over the winter from some mystery illness that wiped out almost all of our hatchlings except the two that were kept in a different room, and one adult. Sad.

Check out the geneticwizard at this link:

It is a downloadable program that may help learning the genetics a little easier.

Also, VMS herp as some good reading in their learning center regarding genetics.
