>>I'll add to that Don. 2 years ago, emerging from a clutch of 28 eggs laid by a 3rd generation pure Okeetee locale corn bred to another Locale Okeetee(how do I know? I caught them myself), was a spontaneous amel, an actual honest to gosh TRUE Reverse Okeetee! I would love to pair that one up with anyone else that has had that great good fortune. PS The picture doesn't do her justice.

I've produced albino cornsnakes from normal F1 cornsnakes captured in Jasper County near the Club, too. I was only interested in locality Okeetee corns at the time, so I sold off that bloodline FAST. With the THOUSANDS of captive bred cornsnakes released in that area since at least the '70s, there is NO SURPRISE that amels, hypos, etc. keep popping up today.

We (I mean anyone who has ever herped the area) are likely catching the offspring (or F2 or F3) from released normal corns that were carriers of one or more traits - or the actual released cornsnakes themselves years after they were released. Sure, survival is low, but THOUSANDS have been released. ...and many by one of the largest breeders of cornsnakes today!
