I don't know if it is an "official" morph, but I do know it exists. My pure black pair of E. o. obsoletas produced a clutch in 2000 in which half the babies are as black as their parents, and the other half are a very dark chocolate colour. The chocolates have yellow lateral stripes where their dorsal and ventral surfaces meet, and their bellies are cream/yellow where the pure blacks have grey/blue shading. Also, the chocolates have olive-greenish rostral scales.
