Actually the Ghost/Palomar and the "blackbellies/hypermelanistic" are TWO different recessive genes.

Hubbs freedom in using the "eiseni" in identifying the Mendota/hypermelanistic gene was to hide the locality that it came from (Mendota, CA). Has nothing to do with the Ghost/Palomar cal kings. Hubbs specifically told me that he did not want the name "Mendota" or "Davis" associated with the hypermelanistic gene to prevent wild snakes from over collection.

That came from Hubbs mouth and into my ear.

Just saying.....
