John this is just anidotal "evidence" but I would think that if the melanistic line was a simple recessive we'd already have homozigus lines becasue black thayeri ALWAYS sold well!
Also you can't tell me that during the last 40 years no one can or will verifiy that they or somebody they knew bred melanistic to melanistic and produce 100% melanistics if the trait were recessive. Again this is antidotal and doesn't prove anything but I'll be highly surprised if the trait turns out to be recessive.
