Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Agreed!
I think I saw this same leopard posted on that other forum. Once again a melanistic. Nice looking.

Thanx, what other forum by the way?! Hopefully it´s not the same pic. or the same Leo as I have the copyright of the pic. and that I own the Leo.
Though I have the same pic. in a swedish forum.
Back to nikki, im new at this "morph stuff", is it a rare morph or is it a more common one?
The breeder i bought her from told me that most breeders and "collectors" dont like this morph so i bought her very cheap (about U.S 30$), was he right or was he wrong?

im not a 100% that even is a morph. its basically a dark normal but it does seem to have a little penstriping.
ideally a melanistic anything would be solid black and as you can see that animal isnt a solid color.

Like chad said, a melanistic is bassically a dark normal. But aside from that, there are a few breeders who enjoy the very dark normals. Kelli H. has several melanistics, and I have one, I'm sure some others do.
I think there is a thread on the front page about melanistics if it is still there.

I guess you could call it a hypermelanistic, but I wouldn't consider it a morph. It's a very dark normal. I would still consider it a very valuable animal to have, as you can use it on a quest to create an all black leopard gecko.
