Tim, that's an impressive history with this species. I wanted to take this opportunity to ask, just out of curiosity, when did the amels first come onto the market and what were there prices like when they did? I'm imagining that they were probably fairly costly when they first showed up, as most oddities like that are, but nowadays they're practically as cheap as the normals. I always like seeing signs on travelling or home-town-type herp shows saying something like "rare albino cobras!!" etc. Heck, if you don't want to get w.c., you'd be hard pressed today to find a normal that isn't at least het. Anyway, this is just something I've wondered about from time to time, but haven't bothered to do any research into until now. Thanks for any info you or anyone else can supply.
