    Lavender BEL Ball Python...
    So we know that albino BELs (blue eyed leucistic) are called cherrybombs. they are all white with red eyes. but what I wonder is... how would a lavender affect BEL?
    We know that the eyes would be red. And honestly from googling I didn't find any lavender BEL pythons anywhere. It intrigued me.
    Lavenders start off looking a lot like albinos, but with every shed their white parts turn a lot more purple. By the time it's an adult, you couldn't guess that an animal is the same aside from the pattern.
    Would a Lavender BEL turn purple with age? There are mojave lavenders but only of babies.
    Has NO ONE tried this? Really? If anyone has, please comment about it!
    I'd like to get everyone's thoughts on this.

    There are millions of combinations of ball python morphs that can be produced with the current gene pool. Pick any combination of genes and ask why it hasn't been produced and the answer will usually be one of three choices:

    -No one has gotten to it yet
    -The visible morph will be too close to another to be worth the effort
    -There is a lethal genetic combo at play

    A Lav BluEL would look the same as an Albino BluEL. They eyes might get a little darker as adults (the same way the eyes of regular Lavs get darker than the eyes Albinos) but nothing appreciably different
