A snake.... LOL.

I am not big on naming things displaying unproven phenotypes that fall within normal variation. It is definitely a cool looking snake, but a melanistic snake is dark grey/black. It is hard for me to tell from the photos, but are the dark scales actually black or dark green?

Cheers,
Chris
