Albino Lesser!

I may have gotten you to read this under false pretenses, making you think I had a picture of one. I was curious though if anyone had produced one yet. If so, links?

No. To date, no one has produced an albino lesser ... at least no one that is willing to publically talk about it. Since in the end, the animal will look just like an albino, most of the breeders that I speak with are focusing their lesser combo breedings in directions that will produce more visually striking animals.

Hope this helps.

hey, adam's back!

well im hoping as in my other thred about the mojo albino that some one does just to at least know what its like...you never know what weird things can happen when 2 genes are mixed

My guess is it will look similar to the cinnie albino...IMO.

Would an Albino Leucistic have red eyes? I can't remember the theory of layers, lol.

Theoretically, it should be a red-eyed leucistic. Similar to the albino leucy Tx rat.

the red eyes are called snows...

Yes an Albino Leucistic would have red eyes. This does take into assumption that a Leucistic ball python is actually leucistic, meaning that the snake does produce pigment, but lacks chromataphores. Chromataphores are the cells in the skin that hold pigment. Therefore, the eyes still retain the pigment, and thus have color. If you remove the melanin from the leucistic, theoretically you would get red eyes. I hope that wasn't too confusing.
