I personally don't like the term Herpermelanistic to describe the Eiseni/Black Belly gene. I think it is too vague of a term. I have found snakes that are very dark that express the gene, but I have also found others that are very light as well.
I think the term Eiseni work because we all would know exactly what type of king it is.

Here is a dark Eiseni I found this year:

And here is a light Eiseni I found. She was only a couple hundred feet away the male above.

If I had kept them back to breed I'm sure they would have produced some animals that where dark and other that where light and some that are in between.

To prove my point further here is another animal that I found only a stone's throw away from the dark one. I would consider him to be intermediate of the two.

These next animals are normal I have found in the same area. I only post them so you can have an idea of what normal's can look like.

Thanks
Bobby
