I think the sunkissed is a selectively bred amel, if I'm not mistaken.

Good job on your pick ups! I'm working with a snow motley and some hypo lavenders. I've also got an anery, normal, and a bloodred corn. My breeding goal is a hypo lavender bloodred! We'll see if I can get that!
Yes, it's already been stated that sunglow is just a selectively bred amel. TBH it kind of pisses me off when people sell babies as "sunglows" because in my opinion, you can't really know that a baby snake will have enough white saddle reduction to be considered a sunglow until they are quite large, I'd say even a year or two before you can call them a sunglow for sure.

So what I'm saying is, A) You can't have het patternless without het stripe, and B) You can not predict how many of the offspring will have the patternless appearance because it is not a gene, more like it is line bred to look like that. Hope that helps!
And yes sunglow is just plain amel, selectively bred to reduce or eliminate the white saddles. And no, you can't really have a snake who is "het. patternless." Again as already stated, it would be het. Stripe. Maybe the parents were really good examples of the vanishing stripe, but that has NO indication of how the babies (or the babies future babies) will turn out, so I'm not sure why the breeder would label them as that, other than to make it sound fancier. Either way, you didn't pay that much, so meh.

I'm currently trying to figure out my anery. I bought him as an anery motley but some people on the cornsnake forum think he might have strawberry in him (his mother was either a snow or coral snow...the breeder doesn't remember). To me, he looks like a coral ghost but I know the genetics aren't there. Corn snake genetics are so fun!

Here's a picture of my anery motley for a little visual to what I'm talking about:



That picture was taken in natural sunlight in my slipper xD Travis is about 30g in that picture.
The whole coral thing is somewhat confusing; whoever coined the term "coral ghost" perhaps didn't think it all the way through, since a coral snow is simply hypo, amel, and anery. And a ghost is simply hypo and anery. However a coral ghost is strawberry + anery.

Oh well, what can ya do. Either way, nice pickups, corns are super fun!
