Melanistic ammo?

[Ilias Strachinis]

Hello everybody!
Does anyone know something about this?

[Borji Heras]

I have a pic of a melanistic ammo in a book

[Ilias Strachinis]

this is a publication in which it seems that some people found a melanistic V.ammodytes on Kefalonia island and captured it some years ago. Does anyone know something about such a story?

[Mario Schweiger]

Never heard about that , but would be very interesting!

Never heard of a melanistic ammodytes. Hope someone has more information on it.

There's a publication on a melanistic ammodytes from Resita, Romania (Fuhn, 1986).
Will try to get this!

Well, here is one from Northern Croatia:

Not my find and not my photo. Actually I'm not sure whose photo it is, but this is one of the THREE black
vammos that have been found at the same locality. From time to time we go there in the hope to strike
it lucky, but so far without any success.
But yes, black vammos do exist, and yes, they are extremely rare.

I think the search for them is like for an 8m anaconda
