If you are referring to my True Reverse Okeetee, yes, it is always possible that she arose from released corns on the okeetee. The odds of that being a reality, however, are very low. In three years of breeding the mother of the above corn, I have hatched out 84 babies. Only one was amel. Continued breedings over time should tell for sure whether this was a spontaneous mutation or not. I am leaning towards the spontaneous based so far on the one in 84 ratio. So did this amel arise from a wild caught corn that had the genetics to produce amels?.. possible. How possible?.. very close to the slim and none side of the spectrum. As for phenotype, the wild caughts certainly appeared in every way to correspond to full blood and true Okeetees. I base this on size, color, and the hundreds of Okeetees I have seen and caught since 1969. Just my 2 cents. Sorry for the rambling, but hope it may have cleaned up the muddy pool a bit.
