There are no melanistic leos......

Gregg, you need to take a pill or something - you are really short with people on this forum. Not a good way to make friends. Cut everyone some slack. Just a gentle piece of encouragement. . .

True - there are no "melanistics" in the strict sense of the term - meaning entirely black. But there are plenty of people working on hyper-melanistic leos (predominately black spotted - even more than normals).

I know Kelli Hammack has a group she's working with - maybe she could post some picture.

I agree - they are a wonderful morph.
