    I'm not sure, Lori, but I think you could find marcianus and radix in the so called blizzard and snow morphs. But normal colouration is so much more attractive, I think.
    Blonde is good though!

    So glad this topic came up.
    I allways mix up the phrases.
    Fx, what does erythristic mean?

    Erythristic...........Mainly red or suffused with red pigment
    Melanistic............Mainly black or suffused with back pigment
    And so on.

    all this coloration variations are possible as hypomelanistic ....
    hypo... lacking some of the pigments but not all.
    in present we have not all possible morphs of coloration dicovered for garters, but I think it will take only a little more time to make the number of variations as big as it is for cornsnakes right now.
