Nice John!
And I REALLY like the "frozen" tongue pics of the MBK!

Thanks Doug.....
The one in the water is a MBK and the other black snake with its tongue out is a female Melanistic thayeri.......

Ahh!, very cool!
I am so surprised those melanistic thayeri are seen so little in the hobby. Glad you have some of those bad boys!

Yep...I can count on one hand the number of folks I know that are working with them......
I have these here on loan from Shannon so they are not mine......The female laid 8 slugs this year.....
I hope we get some good eggs from her next year.....
Along with the melanistics that are here we have some with melanistic parents and of melanistic lineage......."hets" if you will....but I don't call them that as it hasn't been definitely proven to be recessive.......
Maybe we can get some into the hobby soon.....
They are amazingly beautiful.....in my opinion.....

Yeah, I agree, not "het" per se, but just more likely to be passed on by your animals known for carrying and expressing the trait.
Being that some are shown in the old 1991 Markel's book, you would think there would be far more in the hobby by now for sure, but as you said, this isn't the case. I can't recall seeing much of any at all in YEARS!
Yes, those are cooler in my opinion than many of the other phenotypes of thayeri I see.
Hope you and Shannon have some good luck with those guys!
