Kerby,

I have seen almost 100 of these in the wild and I can tell you that the gene is alot more complicated than just being hypermelanistic. Yes I agree that SOME are dark but I have seen some that are very light like a hypomelanistic snake.

Like I said to call that gene hypermalanistic doesn't completely describe it.

I like using Eiseni, Black Belly, Mendota, Delta, Davis,etc because we know exaclty what gene where are talking about. A simple recessive aberrant king from the San Joaquin Valley.

Thanks!!
Bobby
