    Melanistic femal pics

    Took some pics of a female melanistic that has a lot of white on the head and chin. Notice she even has 2 white dashes on the back of her neck.

    I think melanistics are next on my list as well, though the little lady has barred me from buying any more until we buy a house

    Still on the fence about whether or not I should get melanistics from Scott. Definately a good looking snake you have there!

    Re: Melanistic femal pics

    Jason, or Jeff, this might be a silly question. I know the melanistic to an albino pairing is how we get snows. Is this snake showing the white in the spots where it does in all that black just a visual hint as to why this works the way it does? If that makes any sense to you guys....
