[lpenn31]

[Madding]

Nice Gator. I'd love a black morph like that. I don't think that coloration is from stress but I'd need to see another picture.

I have seen some pretty dark ones down south. I don't think the color is out of the potential range. The ones I saw looked like big floating logs until they moved. Did make me want to take a swim! I know of a guy that hit one with his boat motor and about tore the transom out of his boat. They are an awesome beast!
