John,
See Osborne, S. T. 1983. Lampropeltis mexicana thayeri: coloration.
Herpetological Review 14(4):120. [Report on clutch of eggs obtained
from locality-matched adults (from near Galeana, NL) suggests that the melanistic morph follows a simple Mendelian ratio for recessive
traits.]
The animal he reports on is a melanistic Leonis. ----- Herp Conservation Unlimited
