Absolutely my good man!,...they can have varying shades of skin underneath.
A LONG time ago, I searched an entire afternoon at the Orlando Reptile Expo(before it was held at Daytona) for a 50/50 Cal. king that was snow white, a white belly, not beige or cream, and jet black rings, and had light skin underneath. I went through tons of them before I finally found a killer one that was just right. And even this one's skin was a tad dark, but nowhere near as pronounced as some of the other's I saw, I think it takes away some of the contrasting beauty if it is real dark.
