Re: Reptile Guru Line Male x Black Dragon Female Clutch at Vital Exotics

varanus_mad, I have seen the types (they are not true v. s. komaini) that start out a dark brown color (sometimes in certain light and conditions they appear almost black) but they have a slight pattern show thru on the back/body and usually have quite a bit of pattern on the throat and belly area. They seem to "black out" or darken up with age, until at about a year or so of age, they appear almost black with exception to the pattern on the belly and neck that is usually visible for some time until they are older. I think these are either an intergrade between the "normals" and the v. komaini or possibly just a separate locality. There is not clear cut data about what comes from where over there in Indo, so it seems like very few people actually really know what is going on with all these different "black" Salvators. This clutch and hopefully my next one due any day now will be pretty exciting to see what influence the v. komaini (these two "blacks" that were bred this round are true komaini) have on the color of the hatchlings.
