I posted a few amels recently and Jason was asking about the deal on these..... They are some kind of integrate, but what and what is in question. Considering the locale and the look, I personally think they are San Diego x Sonoran. I know that's a huge stretch because the Sonoran range ends - or is supposed to, pretty far south-east of where these originated, but I've seen a photo and heard two accounts of Sonorans being collected in the same canyons. From what I've seen and heard, this is what works for me but I dont know for sure.
Some also have that bi-color look of Great Basins...... Who's range is also way far out.
What I do know is that I really dig these and think they are super cool looking - the normals and the amels.

First up are my young adults;




Here is yearly het. This female was very hypo looking with a weird green hue when I first got her and one of her clutch mates is completely patternless - a stunning animal for sure.



Let me know what you think....

Thanks for looking.
