Thats just it. This pair has produced clutches for Howie for the past several years and this was the only amel produced out of close to 100 hatchlings produced by THIS pair together.

If the same pair breeds together for several years and produces clutch after clutch of normal babies and then you just happen to have an amel pop up and it's the only one out of close to 100 siblings then that's pretty random I guess. I guess this could be the same way the very first amel appeared in nature (however millions of years ago that was). I am not sure what causes this type of mutation since I am not as well versed in genetics as you and a lot of other people on this site. I can understand and appreciate the scepticism however because of the history of that region with people releasing het and multi-het corns.

But,
He just may have somthing pretty special here. I believe he does especially as Don has mentioned, it doesn't have quite the RO look that captive breed RO's do. I have seen this animal in person and took the pic shown on this post(with a pretty crappy camera and limited photography skills) and it is gorgeous!! Hopefully when it warms up a good pic can be taken under a shade tree where the colors can be better represented.

Thanks, for the response and feed back.
