Thanks for the reply, when I said would you consider adult real melanistic animals that was a poor choice of words on my part.Hyper Melanistic would have been better. I was intrested because greg maxwell says that he calls them melanistic phase animals, and I was wondering if that was because a majority of them loose there dark pigmentation into adulthood thus not really making them a melanistic animal. I am sure I could poke around and find examples of hyper melanistic Chondros myself, I was just being lazy so don't worry about posting pics unless you really want to, thanks again.
