Yeah, it would have to have some VERY tracable origin history to satisfy me.

A little later, I am going to post a slew of interesting info on these along with many photos. I am very certain that there were indeed some authentic amel Eastern getula found over the years, but several have died, been sold to whoever, and disappeared. The other side of the coin is that there were definitely some vey bogus hybrid lines involving Cal. kings, nigra, and other ssp. as well.

As you, me and many others know all to well, even when there are certain authentic lines of certain snakes out there, it sure as heck doesn't mean some idiots don't cross things into some of them as time goes on. Just one perfect example would be the MBK x whiteside and Florida kings being produced right now as we speak......(quadruple facepalm)..
