For some reason they did and still do have two different names for those morphs. I'm not really sure why, maybe they slightly differ in pattern but both are very variable in pattern anyway. There is hypermelanism in that strain but it's more apparent in some then others for some reason. Maybe local has something to do with it. The effect of hypermelanism is more noticeable in the head normally. Some times the light pigment can be kind of dark or muddy looking. They like to call those the golden black bellies but most of the different names are not used my everyone. I'm glad Kerby made the effort to breed the two together to get the answers. why no one ever did or has reported it is beyond me.
