Dominant - (Mocha)

  

Mocha

Mochas are the offspring of a single subadult female wild caught by John Lynch. In 2008 he proved her look as at least dominant. A super form and therefore the co-dominance will be proven in 2011 or 2012.

The back and side spots are enlarged and dark brown to greenish black in colour. The background colour is light brown, dark gray to silver gray. This colour mutation is not only hypermelanistic, but apparently also a form of hypoerythrism, because the animals have almost no red colour and some of them show no yellow colour after hatching.
