You know how people breed for less black, why or is anyone breeding for increased black. Cause if it got to the point were the black took up all of the red or most of it I think it would look pretty cool.

There is an area South of Yosemite that has Anery
L.z. multicincta. Ric Blair has some, but I don't think they are breeding size yet. I'll attach a link to his photo's.
There is also the Todos Santos Island Mountain King
L.z. herrerae. You can find photo's of them in Brain Hubbs' book Mountain Kings. I do not know if anybody has them in the U.S. though. The tempature the eggs are incubated at can also help determine the amount of red in Zonata. The cooler the eggs are incubated, closer to 78 as oposed to 82 degrees, the more red the htchlings will have. So if you wanted you could also brred darker adults and incubate their eggs at warmer temps., closer to 82, and you would get more black and more black crossovers in your clutch. I hope this helps answer your question.
