Pic requests for the very dark GBK

AlexNevgloski Aug 04, 2012 05:52 PM

I was hoping people could post pics of the really dark gray to blackish GBKs. These are by far my favorites and I'd like to see how much variation there is in this morph. Thanks, Alex

Heres a dark wild-caught alterna, found 6 miles E. of Sanderson in 2003 by Mike Geiger & I. Hes still going strong & is a valued breeder as he is from a cut we named the "Busy Cut", that has produced some outstanding snakes.....
