Hi I have a lesser platinum and a mojave Ball pythons which i hope to breed this winter for the first time, and would love a Blue eyed lucy. I thought it follwed pretty normal odds, as in i have a 25% chance per egg of getting a Bel, a lesser or a mojave.
However yesterday i had someone come round buying snakes off me and he acted klike he knew loads of stuff. Im not exactly dumb or totally novice myself but he made it sound very convincing. He said that i had a really low chance of making a bel, something like 8% or 12% (something low) from a lesser to mojave and the odds are higher with a mojave to mojave. He also said that i would have a higher chance if i bred their offspring together in years to come than they themselves have of making a BEL. This sounds like the sort of thing that happens with jaguar carpets as in siblings have more jaguars when bred. But i have never heard of this before with the blue eyed lucy complex.
Also he was saying about how you can also get black eyed leucistics from mating mojave x mojave or mojave x lesser for example. I said no....they come from fires, but he said sometimes they also pop up in crosses like the former.
it was all making me feel very confused and i didnt know whether to believe it or not, so am asking you lot on here, coz i figured you would know...
