    Is this possible?

    I was wondering if it was possible to have an albino leucistic and/or an ivory lucy and/or a piebald lucy?
    I knwo it sounds stupid but on pythonkings.nl you can and surely as leucistics have no colour it is impossible?

    It's not impossible for a snake to carry many genes. What you may be thinking of rather, is it possible for them to have all the colors? In that case, I think lucy anything would always look like a white snake. Too many dilutes, and you end up with a white snake.

    Like Connie said, it can carry the genes, which would technically make it an albino leucistic (or whatever combination you choose).

    However, the more genes you add, the harder it can be to tell apart the different morphs. With albino leucistic, you'd at least have the red eyes. With ivory leucistic, you might not be able to tell the difference between which ones were double morphs and which ones were just leucistic.

    You would end up with a Red Eyed Lucy.

    Isn't that pretty much what a snow looks like?
    Too many snakes to be declared "sane" as far as my friends are concerned....

    No. A snow's pattern is very pale and faint, but it definitely has a pattern. Leucistics (from what I understand & what I've seen in pictures on the net, as I don't think I've seen one in person, just ivories and snows) have more of a solid white, like the white areas in piebalds.
