This has been many years in the making. (and Yes, I am very aware of the various stories about the amel Eastern king, and I have the info I needed after speaking with Kevin from N.E.R.D. several years ago)

I bought this male in 2006 from Ken Foose. The bands were so thin and broken, and I wanted to improve on this.

My het female is the result of breeding amel to a w/c NC female.

I have gotten bad clutches the past 3 seasons, and this was going to be my last season working with them, had this not happened.

This was the first project I set my eyes on when I bought my first colubrid from an on line vendor. And to date, I am happier with this baby male than anything I have produced. (I do not do this for the money, PURE ENJOYMENT!) I have asked my wife not to give me an update until I get home Sunday on the remaining eggs from this clutch. When I left there were 2 more heads poking from the eggs, another amel, and a het. I cant hardly wait to get back home.
