I started this thread because I just picked up what appears to be a melanistic splendida. It was collected in TX, so not in the range of MBK and it was found in a rural area on a small farm so the chances of being an escaped pet are very slim. I also spent over a year talking with the person who caught it looking for a flaw in the story or anything to make it seem like the person was pulling a fast one. I'm 100% convinced it is a legit animal and the person was being honest.

So now my plan it to collect more from the area to keep it locale specific and hopefully prove it recessive. I'm also going to get a couple morphs to mix with. Sadly, the animal is a female so it will all take a while.
