"But anyway, I gotta make this short Gerry,..... 'cause I gotta go feed my pure-bred authentic amel, splotched, clown, het "spotted", hypo-E (pumpkin), patternless, aberrant "Sinaloan"....."

and i have every one of those except the hypo-e.

nathan wells sent me a hatchling non-feeder male a few years back - but, after months of trying, i'm sad to report that he didn't make it.
