Posted by: RossCA at Mon Jun 20 16:25:40 2011 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by RossCA ] Thomas, I'm sure you are more well versed on genetics than I am but since some of those offspring are just as dark as a MBK, doesn't that prove it is not a recessive melanistic trait? Maybe at the very least its a co dominate trait, or maybe the MBK is not melanistic and more like a Black Pine and Black Milk that darkens with age for some reason. Black Milks and Pines are considered subspecies like MBK's and darken up with age just like them. There is no other Melanistic kingsnake morph I know of that darkens with age like that, they are born dark. Those are just my observations. Recent genetic work also suggests splendida is separate from nigrita. Not only different subspecies but different species. I don't know a thing about DNA work to agree with it or not, but it seems that would be too big of a mistake to make if nigrita was just a melanistic splendida. What do you think? | ||
