>>>>Looks like Cindy deleted a post of mine and FR's. In that post, I explained how you might prove that to be a melanistic desert king through breeding. After seeing these new photos, it looks like what you found there is someones captive released axanthic desert king and MBK. The odds of anyone finding axanthic and melanistic desert kings in the wild so close together in time and place, are pretty much impossible. That's just my opinion. Nice looking kings.

I'm looking at it through the phone, maybe that's why I can't see the yellow. So if it is a typical splendida, maybe the black one is melanistic. It would be interesting. to see if its inherited in a different way.
