Amel is short for Amelanistic (Lack of Melanin). This is just one of the types of albinism in corns.

Alright thanks.

Nice looking amel :gj:

thansk guys. shes settled in already. staying in the hides like a good girl

To add more to what Demon280z said, amel is sometimes called "red albino" and anery is sometimes called "black albino". I've even heard someone call a snow an albino, but I think that was more of that person being mistaken than an accepted name for the morph.

Amel or amelanistic seems to be the most popular name, probably partly because it is the most scientifically correct, and partly because it is less ambiguous than albino.
