Yes, it's known that there are certain large areas of these populations of melanistic forms throughout their range, but it would certainly be fun to see the exact sizes of these areas on a distribution map of some sort. But that would certainly take a lot of study/research money from somewhere..LOL!
The melanistic form is far less common in the Florida area where I captured mine, but maybe I would be thoroughly surprised as to how many there REALLY are in that area, who really knows for sure.
One thing's for sure, they are neat little snakes!
