You really don't see plain ole natural phenotype L.t.nelsoni much anymore. Here is a clutch of natural phenotype's that were sired by my tyrosinase positive male bred to my normal female. It has become pretty rare to find a Nelson's with out the amelanistic gene attached to it, fortunately I was able to. I plan to use 2.2 of this clutch to try and isolate the tyrosinase positive gene, so we can better understand how it is inherited and how it becomes visible. Should be quite interesting. Thanks for looking.

Very pretty snakes. It's funny how so many people have lost the appreciation for wild types (calling them "normals" almost as if it was a bad thing) with all the morphs available nowadays.
Good luck with your project.

Norm, I hear you. I am always in search of natural old line triangulum. Morphs are cool to an extent. When you start getting in to 5 and 6 homozygous animals it just doesn't tickle my fancy anymore. Not only that how do you distinguish one from the other? Thanks for the kind words,BTW.
