A Blizzard cal king displays BOTH albinism and hypermelanism at the same time.

Thank you. i do not see many hypermelanistics for sale though? do they look more of a chocoltae brown than black normally?

This is what they look like as adults, this is a hypermelanistic "Mendota" locale.

E-mail me about availability.

what about the blizzard adults? do they have pattern like that? How do you end up with a chocolate?

Adult Blizzards appear almost completely white, but when taken out in sunlight, you can see faint yellow banding.
