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.

Ok, I see you were thinking the same as I. While I understand Greg mentions the term "phase", there are lots of sub-adult to adult animals that I would consider to be "melanistic/hyper-mel" animals. I see what I can do just to show others....and I love looking at unique chondros.
