nope
no melanistic corn snake.
the closest are dark anerys (anerythristic A) or charcoals (anerythristic B)

As Jimmy(draybar) mentioned,.....no, there have never been any patternless solid black corns in the hobby thus far.

This hypermelanistic wild-caught corn I owned back in the early 90's could have possibly started some at some point, but I never got the chance to breed it and work with any possibilities it might have had unfortunately. As you can see, it displays a VERY unusual amount of melanin on it's entire background color, and portions of half it's body are indeed solid black with the exception of the saddle blotches.

I bet this could have produced some absolutely stunning high-white amels too if it was introduced into them back then...*sigh*..

No. But here's a "dark anery" I hatched out a few years ago.

Third Eye

I'm really hoping to start a line of super dark pewters with her.

True to life colors. I'm keeping an eye out for a suitable male for her.

Refresh my memory. What is a pewter?

Very Nice-I like outdoor shots.

Yes, that IS a very exceptionally solid dark pewter! I remember that one from a while back..
