Hyper-Melanistic

I hatched this little hyper out just a month ago. He is much better looking in person if you are into hypers. I hope to prove him out next year. I hope he is genetic and I think he would make some really neat crosses with lavender albinos or bananas/coral glows, etc. I think they would make deeper lavender colored snakes. I could be totally wrong but you never know what you will get when you breed these morphs as we have all been shocked in the past with ivories, crystals, and leucistics for example.

Lesser for comparison

You can sorta see his dark belly in this pic. its a little darker in person.
