Do YOU think genetically...White Snakes (Lucys) are a dead end?

Who wouldn't want a Super Lesser Super pastel Super Enchi might be an all white snake but with a few normals your sitting on a breeder powerhouse.. So genetically they are no different than any other super.. The problem comes in knowing what is hiding behind the white.. Is it a super Lesser Pastel spider or just a super lesser Pastel ect..

As a collector do I think they are a dead end?..NO! Any one that thinks so hasn't had the pleasure of pulling a tub open and seeing that little white gem laying there, or seeing one in the egg..just my two cents..

I love BEL's and anyone that doesn't I'll be happy to take everyone they have off their hands at no charge.. LOL

I agree 100%!!!:D

I'm new to the Morph world but, I'm getting a Lesser to have my own Lucy. I'd rather breed it over buying it! It'd mean more to me!!! But, I fell they're beautiful and will always remain a wanted snake!

ok, well thanks for all the input. I agree that theres a lot more to be done withthe Lucy's, lets see what is created in the next couple of years...should be very interesting.

same here... i'm also counting the days for eggs to be laid from my lesser x lesser .. i feel making them mean a lot more than just buying them :D

Not all Leucys are created equal I submit. I have some "out if the box" white snakes in the works this season. I have a pretty good shot at a Leucy Het Caramel this season. It is a steeping stone to a Caramel Leucy the following year. I am not sure if it will be a fantastic visual -- but a male would rock and roll in any breeders collection working with Caramels or Ultramels. :bow:

White snakes are homozygous -- and that is always a great thing!!! :gj:

Exciting non the less

we have some pretty cool lucy projects comming up:

:rolleyes:;)

I don't believe that a super pastel super enchi super lesser has any value beyond a super lesser.. EXCEPT as a breeder.

I don't buy ANY snakes just for breeding potential. If they don't look their 'value', I have no interest in them.

The only 'het' anything in my collection looked good enough already for me to spend what I spent on it if it was a normal.

Yes, that also means for the moment, I stay far away from pretty much all recessive traits, especially ones that people currently spend big bucks on.
