Doug, thanks for the extra info. I may have known that Don had them back then, but it takes time for ideas to take shape too. If I recall, at that time I was unsure if they were pure emoryi. I also didn't want to work with Northern Emory's back then. Now that's not an issue.

I actually got some snakes from Don in 2003. Here's one of the reverse-striped, P. e. meahllmorum, I got from him....

I also got 1.2 Brazos Island ratsnakes from him. I'll probably cross the amel into one of these lines.

Later...TC

>>Yes, that's right, the original amel emoryi line was started from wild caught stock from Kansas. Don Soderberg was the first to produce the amel emoryi in captivity. As I understand, Don later sold his entire emoryi collection to "KJUN" who frequents the cornsnake forum. I do know that Don has some 2007 amel. emoryi, as well as some Kisatchi's on his website right now.

>> I don't think there are any other amel lines other than those either, but don't quote me on that. Those first amel offspring that Don produced probably weren't available until around 2000 maybe, because they were available in 2003 for around $350.00 dollars I know.
