a story then a question.
When I found the first black thayeri, a late friend and I were in the field, he was in front of me and came up to a really nice looking area. I looked down and found a female exactly like the one you posted here. It was a neonate. My friend came over to look at it, then went in a different direction. I went to where he was when I found the little female. Again I looked down a saw a coil of a black snake sticking out from under a rock. So I grabbed it, the snake was in shed, and I actually had no idea what it was. I had it by a coil and asked my friend come over and lift the rock off. I didn't want to pull it out and hurt it. He asked what it was, I said, heck if I know. Its some kind of kingsnake I think. In the area, there are L.g.splendida, which possibly could be black, there are black racers not too far away. So he came and lifted the rock off the snake and I looked at it and tossed in out in the open. I then said, its not a racer. hahahahahahahahahahaha He said, what do you think it is? I responded with, it smells like a montane king, but who knows. I said it has a awful wide head for a getula. It did indeed turn out to be a case of recessive melanism.
My question, has anyone produced a snow thayeri yet?
