They are the same thing as every body else has.They are just trying to be differant.I would bet the farm that if you took one of there over prices albino siniloans and bred it to a cheaper albino nelsoni that you would get all albinos.

shannon, i THINK i understand what you're saying--that the sinaloans and nelsoni probably are the same thing, just results of intermixing the two? But your comment could confuse some people, since crossing an amel red rat and an amel king also produces amel jungle corns, doesn't it? or am i wrong, and are the amel jungle corns only the amels of the king side, or the red rat side? or both, but separately? Not sure i'm asking this clealry, but if my point is clear, how would one tell from such a pairing which was the case--has anyone bred jungle corns X to "pure" kinds and "pure" red rats, and found that amels are produced in one--but ONLY one--of those cases? If not, then the amel trait is the same on both species. which means...to get to my point...that the fact that breeding an amel sinaloan and an amel nelsoni and getting amels doesn't really prove anything about whether they're "the same" or "different". Make sense?

does breeding a het/amel red rat X a het/amel getula produce hybrids some of which are amels?

(that'll determine whether the two amels are the same and if so, my question/observation in the previous post will hopefully make a little more sense. shannon?)
