Melanistic Cal. Kings

Hello - Is anyone producing melanistic California kings? Either striped or banded. I have seen a few here and there but not all that many.

Thanks

In my opinion, which is really fact...
Melanistics are jet black with no/faint pattern.

Mendotas... which are sometimes called Mendotas... or called Hypermelanistics, can be banded or striped but are darker..

There are people working with those.
If you look around on the forums and/or the classifieds you'll find some.
