Melanistic Female

Beaker30 Oct 31, 2010 12:35 PM

Here is the melanistic female I couldn't post yesterday. She shed last night, so here she is with a fresh paint job:

If you look closely, you can see her underlying pattern in the "U" shaped bend in her tail. Hope you enjoy her.

Very nice!

Yes, you can just barely make it out from what I can see.

That's a sweet pair for sure!

Very cool. I don't see melanistic thayeri very often anymore. Is this a recessive trait?

Congrats Craig... I know you've been looking for a pair of these for a while now. Also, nice looking bunch from your post below! Where'd you get that white line girl?
