Re: T.s.sirtalis genetics question
I have heard of a scaleless wandering that was found a few years back here in Salt Lake City. a friend of mine ( a division of wildlife services officer) had talked to a friend that found it and had also seen it....really odd looking snakes!!! I have seen a pic of another scaleless snakes years ago, don't remember what species it was...think it was a water snake

Re: T.s.sirtalis genetics question
Melanism is adifinate recessive.In the areas where they are found it is very ingrained in the local populations though.A friend of mine has caught many normal looking females over the years and only had 2 that did not produce mels.

 Not sure if others will agree, but I would call this pic "photoshopped". The skin tones on the hand are waaaay too red to be real.

Re: T.s.sirtalis genetics question
Well. It does look like a little too much saturation but not enough to say it doesnt really look close to that.
OMG! That scaleless wandering is too cool! I have seen a water snake but not a garter. =)

Re: T.s.sirtalis genetics question
I would agree that there's some color manipulation, but some of the red flecked, red-striped Northwesterns in Del Norte County, CA come really close!
