Difference in snakes?

[bones93]

I was curious...Is there a plain leucistic ball python AND a blue eyed lucy?

I seen a nice looking lucy on kingsnake for 1000 and then seen a Russo BEL "white diamond" on there for quite a bit more and from the pics it appeared that the eyes were different. So I was wrong that I assumed that there was only either a BEL or a super fire?

Thanks for someone clearing this up

There are different levels of white with lucies. The "White Diamond" from the Het Russos is much more pure white than say a super Mojo.
Black eyed lucies are less common and generally command higher prices.

There are a few blue eyed lucy producing snakes. Like the mod said, it all depends on the pairing. White diamonds are produced by a snake that looks like a high yellow normal. Called a Russo Het.

Lesser, Butter, Russo, Mojo, all produce lucy's. There may be more but I cant think of it right now.

Fire produces black eyed lucy. They also vary in white. They are all solid white but some combos have a colored or "dirty" looking head. Some produce a faint line along the spine. Some are more likely to produce a paradox with splotches of odd color. etc etc..

It all depends on the pairing. The more bright solid white the snake is and the more clear blue the eyes are, the higher the price is generally. Black eyed lucy's do not have as many different types of snake that produce them therefore they are still not as plentiful so they are worth more.
