Please help, new bp, BEL v White wedding COLOR

Hello,

I have a few bps, my favorite a white wedding spied girl (Black eyes). I’d really like to get another white snake but this time a BEL. I’ve researched around the web, YouTube, and some old posts but no one has ever has experienced a comparison of a super lesser BEL (which I think is the most stark white of the BELs - please correct me if I’m wrong) and a white wedding spied.


I was was wondering if any aficionados or breeders have seen comparisons of the two and if the BEL can never compare to the stark white of a WW when the bo reaches adulthood.

I have the option of purchasing another WW (from the same clutch as my girl). If the BEL can’t compare then I’ll bring him home.

And no I do not plan to breed, I just love loving bps.
Thank you for the help!

I do not have any Pied animals but I have a SuperFire, a Hypo Lesser/Mojave and I had an Ivory Butter OD Pastel so I know a bit about white snakes. I have also visited a number of friend's collections and seen adults of a bunch of things.

The most stark white snakes I have seen are the all-white BlkELs. The white I have seen on adult high-percentage Pied animals is the same degree of stark white so I would believe that an all-white Pied combo would be equal in that regard.

Every BluEL adult I have seen has had some faint level of pigmentation to them, they are more cream-coloured than white. I have also yet to see an adult BluEL of any type that does not have some kind of faintly visible dorsal stripe

Thank you so much for the input, greatly appreciated and what I was looking for.

btw, lovely collection of white snakes you got there!

i agree w/ Dr. Ash. an all white BlackEL like a patternless Super Fire will be brighter and whiter than white BlueEL's. also i have an adult Lied (Lesser Pied) who has stayed all white since i got her as a hatchling. the whites in Pieds stay white and vibrant but sometimes they do develop a black freckle here and there butt i haven't seen that on all white Pieds yet.

beLI am agree with answers. If you are lloking for a full white nothing is more white than the one in a piebald. I would say go for a BEL anyways there are gorgeous. I have a bamboo.mojave BEL and a pied and its just a different taste having both. Those blue eyes have no comparison.
