Leucistic Question

    Leucistic Question
    I have been wondering what effect Leucism would have on a secondary morph.
    For Example. I paired a Lesser-Woma x Lesser, and got a nice clutch, one boob egg aside.
    The clutch was what you would expect. A couple womas, a nice lesser-woma. . .. but of course, the boob egg went to term, and wouldn't you know it...
    Day 62, a 34g Lucy hatched out. Full of it, snappy, and ate at 4 days old. We could not be happier, as this is our first leucistic ball, and the wife
    has always wanted one.

    Here is my question.
    The Lucy is typical of the morph, being blue eyes, and patternless. However, it has a slight wobble. Similar to what a common woma, or spider would have.
    It is minor, but much like the other womas in the clutch.

    Would the leucism completely remove any pattern, and could this be a super lesser-woma? Or, would the woma exhibit itself visually? I have not been able to find
    any information on this subject.

    Thanks for any info. :)

    P.S. (Sorry for the grubby hands!)

    Sometimes there will be visible changes to the psttern. Sometimes the changes will show up under a black light. I have also heard of people using photo editing software to change the hues and/or saturation of a picture to reveal a pattern on a leucustic snake (another breeder that I know has used this trick to identify Ivory Paints/Ivory Super Paints).

    Photoshop some pattern on it and you could have any morph you want! [emoji13]

    If it has a wobble I'd be about 98% sure it is woma, congrats on the combo

    That's kinda what I was thinking. I have asked around a bit, and nobody has heard of a Lucy having a wobble.
