Özet

Here, we report a melanistic female of Natrix natrix from Gökçeada (Imbros), Turkey. This is first recorded melanism case in N.natrix from Western Anatolia, Turkey. The specimen was examined morphologically (measurements, pholidosis, and color pattern) and compared with literary data. The ventral color-pattern of specimen is different from the one being specified in the literature, while postocularia is 4-3. ©Biharean Biologist, 2016.
