Let's not forget about the White Sided, I really hope it proves out. Also, if you have any nice aberrant patterns you may want to hold onto a pair and try and make more. I would love to see a Striped or Melanistic too.
As more people begin to work with these I think we will see even more variants. I sure hope so

I am totally with you on the search for a melanistic affinis. I think that I would give my left.......uh...kidney for a melanistic Sonoran that was pure. I spoke with a fellow biologist who spent a bunch of time in an area dominated by black volcanic outcrops in new mexico. They saw many dark horned lizards, dark tree lizards, dark side-blotched lizards, a dark long nosed snake but all the affinis they saw were normal pale snakes............
