...very genuine, and very cool locality-specific animals!

Here are some more details regarding them from you and Susan Hardy that I have from back in 2009.


Amel annulata history



Bill Cobb collected a adult pair under a fridge door. He bred them for a couple years and Susan Hardy bought some of the offspring from him just to have pure locale lines. She raised them up and lo and behold popped out two amels. She didn't say anything to anybody and popped out two more the next year. Then Bill got a hold of her and asked if she was interested in the adults. Of coarse she jumped on them and still didn't say anything.

She then took some of her poss hets that she had and bred back to the adults and figured out that the female adult that Bill had caught was a het. The male was normal so thats why he never produced a visual himself.



The same story told by Susan Hardy recently


Bill Cobb collected a pair from Freer, TX under a refrigerator, when he bred them he talked Susan into buying a pair. That was in 99'. In 2001 she bred the pair for the first time, 6 eggs, and 2 of them were albino. In 2003 she bred the albino male that hatched to the original female she had bought, that produced 4 more albinos and 3 hets. The original male ended up dying before it was bred to an albino to see if he too was infact het albino.
