Hey!! . I look at that snake quite a bit and closely compare it to it's siblings. My opinion is it actually has some kind of hypo-gene in play, despite how dark it started out. It is most evident in the deep clear color of the tail but also in how the saddles are pigmented compared to the normals. . Plus the eye color is still unique. . 25% of the litter came out with that mutation, though they seem to be in at least two phases.. so dark they are almost purple and nearly salmon-pink (like the one pictured in this thread). . Interesting stuff. Thanks for your comments.
