    Re: Melanistic eastern

    They look like wannabe Cuitzeos (minus the pink tail). See....



    Char wanted some melanistic easterns, they look so similar to our Mexicans that I think we'll focus on widening the variation we have. Then we can come back to the melanistics.

    You've got Cuitzeos too haven't you Scott? How do they compare side-by-side?

    Re: Melanistic eastern

    Thanks for the kudos. I do not have any now but do expect babies from various bloodlines next summer. Here's a comparison shot of the melanistic and cuitz. The cuitz is not as jet black as the melanistic eastern, cool thing w/ the Cuitz is that the ventrals are dark from the head to the cloaca and from the cloaca to the tail it is bone white in color.
