Mine has the same colours as the black headed one, but with a milky tea colour forehead - oddly though his jaw and neck underneath are very pale. God alone knows his genetics.
I've seen some of the dark headed animals on those reprehensible YouTube videos. Are they from a certain area?
It's also possible that colour can change with different diet. I swapped some of my cornsnakes from mice to rats & immediately (next shed) their yellows became much brighter and more noticeable and continued to brighten up for some time..
That melanistic animal is really pretty - reminds me of the beaded lizard - just less venomous and doesn't need a tyre iron to get him off if he bites.
