I only got one out of this clutch of four hatchlings...I consider that very good odds compared to what I've seen. If you are in the market for a leucistic Texas ratsnake, do your homework and be a smart buyer. It has been my experience that 75% of the LRs for sale have bugeyes, of varying degrees. For those who are new to LRs, or newbies shopping at a show, they may never see one for sale WITHOUT, and accept this grotesque form as the norm for that type of snake, never having seen the "real" normal. Most vendors won't disclose the info on the bugeye trait voluntarily, and some even charge MORE for individuals without the bugeyes!!!! Yes, there are some folks out there who enjoy the bugeye trait, No beef whichoo guys......however, I'm just informing those that are new to LRs to BEWARE. Hope this helps.

you can plainly see the difference between the two. "Spirit", the one on the left is normal, and is in shed. Sadly,I beleive this lil bugeyed lady is blind. She doesn't really respond at all to movement. I am going to do some further tests, but I'm pretty sure she's blind. I'll have to check into blindness occurrences in LRs as well.......
