I live in Indiana and I know the commons around here have various shell and skin colors. I always catch a lot of hatchlings/yearlings down at a golfcourse where the soil is real dark, and thier always almost black in color. I also find a lot more lighter colored red/tan ones in a different location where the soil is made up more of sand and clay... Seems to prove true.
