He mentioned in another post that these were F2s, which would go right along with it being a recessive trait. I don't know if the genetics are that simple though.
Hi there foxturtle, you're absolutely right. I read into that wrong. I know what f2 is, I should have recognized that.
There is a recessive melanistic morph found in thayeri.
What I was saying is there is no other recessive kingsnake trait, that I know of, that is called melanistic with the young showing pattern and gradually darkening with age. It probably doesn't matter anyway. Just an observation. BTW, I'm not even sure if melanistic thayeri start off patterned. I'm under the impression they are already born solid black.
