what is het Russo & white diamond?

[t-Roy]

What is a White Diamond and what is a Russo? Im sure they are no special snakes that I've never seen yet but the fancy names got me confused..

Like I see snakes for sale that says het Russo, het white diamionds... What are these? Im thinking they are just leucies.

[asplundii]

Yeah they are one of the BluEL group. The lucie is the White Diamond. the het Russo is, well, the het form...

???

Why Stupid?

Vin worked hard to prove it out.

They are special. They make a white snake...

Vin Russo had some brightly colored ball pythons that he was working with that he called his lemon balls? When breeding two of these together he produced a leucistic ball python that he called the white diamond. Most people that I hear talking about them now call hets from his line 'Het Russos' instead of Lemon balls.

I think he was one of the very first, if not THE first, to produce a leucistic ball python.

Doesn't the Russo produce a black eyed lucie not blue???

[MarkS]

Doesn't the Russo produce a black eyed lucie ???

No, it's one of the blue eyed complex.

Thanks. I knew it was some stupid crap like that. STUPID!!

Not really sure where that's coming from. Het Russo, Russo Het Leucistic and Het White Diamond are all names referring to a specific mutation/trait.

White Diamond is a name referring to a specific variety of Blue eyed Leucistic.

Vin Russo is the founder of these animals and has every right to call them what he wishes.

Nothing STUPID about it.

Oh so Russo is a person!! lol!! ok now I see... Im a noob guys. There might be some stupid things coming from me, so please excuse me
So who's white Diamond?? haha j/k.. But who made up that name though for real.

I know that mojave, butter, lesser, and fires create Leucies.

So now Im learning that there are normals that create Leucies too??
Please correct me if Im wrong about that.

This is one of the snakes that is het Leucy but isn't any morph I don't think.
