Today marks the anniversary of the first amel cornsnake to hatch in captivity. Thanks Dr Bern Betchel.

I forgot it was on this very day, but I certainly was aware that Bernard Bechtel produced the first amelanistic cornsnake way back in 1961. That really must have been astounding to see one way back then!.........good post!, I'm sure that will come as a big surprise to a lot of folks here!

best regards, ~Doug
