Look up Black Pearls and Black Velvets. I don't think you'll find any in the U.S. (available)

Those are the only two I know about.

I believe Matt from A&M posted a pic of a melanistic leopard gecko a while back, but I’m not really sure.

Don't the geckoranch.com sell melanistic leopard geckos?

They are very cool, I hope they're not to pricy.

There is no such thing as a melanistic leopard gecko... There are dark normals but no true melanistics...

They are commonly refereed to melanistic but technically should be referred to as hypo-melanistic.

You mean hyper-melanistic... I would not even go as far as calling the entire morph that either... They are just dark line/selectively bred normals... A couple of individuals from the project the two breeders are working on might be hyper-melanistic...

Well this turned into a nice discussion =)

Too bad I don't understand any of it! =p
