    this strain if albino is t positive right? it totally makes sense that the melanistic is still trying so hard to show itself since that's the case! I always laugh when I see albino melanistics because you can really see the two genes "competing", for lack of a better word.

    Sounds like it was supposed to be two seperate snakes, accidentally squashed together like play-doh before birth.
