Back in BLACK!

MichaelHeyduk Feb 19, 2012 05:17 PM

Greetings everyone!

The season has started early with my melanistic L.m.thayeris this year!

For a week now this pair is "in action"...

Normally me thayeris start with the copulation mid march, so i was really suprised by them!

It is the first breeding season of this pair...and i hope to see a good clutch late april.

Thanks and good luck to everyone here at KS with the kingsnakes and breeding projects,

Michael

NICE! I like how you can see the faint pattern through the black on the male.
I hope you get a big healthy clutch.

The male shows some really interresting stripes under the black...

Congrats Michael.....I hope you get to see black neonates.....
It's interesting that you can still see the pattern on one of your breeders.....Looks like an intermediate pattern.......

Because black is a color......white is the absence of color....colorless.....
