Robert Sieb bred these in decent numbers. I know Applegate says his striped sinaloans are pure sinaloans and came from his line of sinaloans. I do have a pair from before he introduced the amel gene into that line and I will hopefully be able to reproduce the striped gene.
Shannon Brown bred a amelanistic L.t.nelsoni from Don Wilson to a wild caught female back in 1997. Some of the offspring were aberrant. I have an original pair from that breeding but she didn't produce any offspring this year, so I am hoping next year to be able to keep that line alive.
I know this probably doesn't give you a definite answer but as soon as I know I will forward the information to you.

Hmmm, I've been around long enough now to remember the first spotted snake was call Nelsoni, it seems a little strange now as I don't see any spotted Nelsons up for sale, just Sinaloans.
What was the out come of your discussions with the others ?
