    Pink Eyed Luecy's?
    I'm more of a colubrid erson but I have started to get into ball pythons recently also. In black rat snakes and texas rat snakes they have "pink eyed luecistic" which are albino luecistics. I've been wondering lately if anyone has produced anything similar in ball pythons. Given that albinos are pretty popular and there are 3 forms of luecistic in ball pythons (Ivory, Black Eyed, and Blue Eyed) I figured that it has been made atleast a few times but I can't seem to find a picture anywhere. Anybody have any pictures or have heard of this combo?

    It's called the Polar Ball and Vin Russo produced it. It's an albino Blue Eyed Luecistic.

    I love that it means that albinoism is a stronger gene that the BEL gene..

    Its not really a matter of which is a "stronger" gene... its just that it wouldnt be albino if it wasnt completely albino, it would be hypomelanistic ;) BEL's have a little bit of greyish pattern on them (esp. super mojaves) so that small amount of grey just turns pink.

    I am pretty sure that one of the closest things to a pink-eyed lucy would probably be that polar ball and a snow ball python. Snow ball pythons are like the sister of the black and blue eyed lucys, with the snow having red eyes.
