    Red face My brand new blue eyed leucistic male with a condition so rare it is considerd a myth

    Just picked up a little blue eyed leucistic at a pet store today. These snakes go for normally over $1000. However this one was kept in the back due to it being considered undesirable and after discussions with the staff they let me have him for just $200.
    One of his eyes was injured by a mouse, but his other eye is what makes him special.
    He actually has two irises and in one eye!
    This condition is known as pulpua duplex and is considered a myth!
    I now am the proud owner of living, breathing and rat squeezing proof of the condition.
    I am over the moon. So excited I am sick.
    I present you Mewtwo. My miracle snake.

    Can we see the other eye? You have peaked my interest.

    wow! I haven't even heard of that, that's crazy! Have you noticed it affecting how he sees or anything?
    And it goes to show you, what some think is undesirable, to others its way more! congrats on the new guy!

    Congrats on your new beauty!


    Was the injured eye a duplex as well?
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Here is his injured eye. I have high hopes that, even if he never regains true sight, the eye will heal to the point that it looks almost normal.

    No need to make duplicate posts, they have now been merged into one. Please remember this for future use.
    BELs have also come way down in price, haven't seen a 2 gene close to $1k in a while (hatchling that is)

    The eye does make it interesting though.
    The duplex does look bug eyed in the photo.
    Also I find it interesting that they said the right eye was mouse damage but I don't see any damage around where the eye should be.

    What morph combination is this BEL?
