::Here you go Jeff

::Second:I bought a apair of hypos from Lloyd Lemke other's called them amel lavender[ the term lavender is used because the snake produce lavender babies]not because of the color of the snake I also have pic if needed also there's photo's of a hypo and a xanthic albino blk rat in a must have book[reptile and amphibian variants Color, Patterns, and Scales by H. Bernard Bechtel
::I caught an melanistic blk rat and released not be knowing what i had back in the 90's just two years ago a breeder here in MD was selling babies at a reptile show from is W.C. adults. The snake was blk from nose to tail the lower jaw and belly as well. This I wish I had photos of [I wish I had the snake lol]
::Hey Jeff add Lavender blk rat too.
::Later Andre'
:Andre', the eastern shore of Md and Delaware(maybe VA too)is where you find the MELANISTIC form...but I would not consider this a MORPH. Thanks for the info,J
