"If there was a true line of amel out there in Campbelli I would just about bet anything it would be allele with the hypo line just like in the Nelsoni. Because they are both albinos they usually tend to be compatible.Hypo's aren't compatible with any amel lines in any snakes that I know of"


I think you meant to say allelic with an amel gene if there was a true line of amel campbelli in the hobby...correct?, otherwise the gene would be a form of hypomelanism and not be expressed in the first generation if not compatible and allelic.

That seems logical to me as well if there are a percentage produced in the first generation with a normal amel. It would prove the gene resides on the same locus, just as it seems to be with the so-called t-plus nelsoni you are working with.

After reading all about the way the ultra/ultramel gene in corns works and is inherited, this seems to be VERY similar to the nelsoni gene you are working with, although the animals themselves are NOTHING alike...I'm referring just to the way the gene itself works and is inherited..LOL!...know what I mean?
