Don, I was wondering about the genetics of this snake as well. It would seem that the first amels ever (however many millions of years ago that was) must have came about from the same type of spontaneous mutation that produced Howie's animal. That is presuming that all of the snakes then where "normal". Would Howie's snake not then tend to be heritable from this point on.

I guess what I'm asking is if you know of any other types of amel out there in corns, or any rats for that matter, that is not heritable?

I would love to see her breed back to one of Howies other pure okee's and then breed the offspring back to the mother or to each other to possibly start a line of "pure" locale specific reverse okee's.

Thanks,
Ralph Mills.
