    I'll try to get one later on, my camera batteries are in the charger.

    Her eyes aren't so buggy as they are big for a snake her size. I'll try to get a pic from the top, they do stick out a little more than the rest of my snakes, but not freakishly so.

    Despite what many people try to say.... There is a ton of line breeding and inbreeding in our industry. It's prevalent in all of the reptile industry. All morphs are genetic flaws. They are all genetic defects. Unwanted physical abnormalities are bound to show up. Some of these defects are probably heightened in particular morphs due to the genes involved in making them what they are. Some can probably be linked as is the Spider and it's wobble.
    Albinism has vision issues linked to it so one can fathom that Leucism (which is linked to Albinism) could or would also have eye/vision problems associated with the defect. It does show up in rats as well as balls.
    Look at RTB's, you could not breed Albino x Albino back in the day. You would get snakes with one eye, no eyes, stillborn, weak babies and more. I think over the years this has become less prevalent due to the massive outcrossing’s that started to happen due to these unwanted defects. I think most breeders still will not breed white to white.
    It's rather common that you see a breeder selling pairs of ball pythons to people. They are for the majority siblings. Now this person that buys them grows them up and guess what? The breed them together. The babies are then sold and often times are sold in pairs. The cycle keeps going. Not all breeders do this, but allot do.
