    This is perhaps a stupid question.

    What snakes belong in the so called White Snake Maker Complex?
    I guess what I am asking is what combos produce either Snow White or Ivory Babies, this would include white snakes with reduced or very faint patterns.

    I call on all opinions.

    Don't you mean the BEL complex? Or is there some other White Snake Complex that I don't know about LOL

    An Ivory is a super yellow belly which is unrelated to BELs.

    Blue eyed leucistics: (any combo of below)
    Butter/Lesser
    Mojave
    Mocha
    Bamboo
    Russo
    Special
    Mystic/Phantom

    Black eyed leucistics: (any combo of below)
    Vanilla
    Fire
    Disco
    Brite
    Flame
    Sulfur
    Lemonback
    Sauce

    Mixing of black eyed and blue eyed complex genes will not produce white snakes. Only between each other in same complex.

    Same [emoji4]

    I'm still looking for the Whitest White though ..

    I wonder if there's an accepted combo that gives the best WHITES ??

    There's a stunner in this forum that I keep seeing but guess lighting is always a factor ?!



    Just been reading through the Super Russo thread - interesting!

    All-white BlkEL and/or all-white Pied combo.

    Almost every super or ALS created from the BlkEL or BluEL has the ability to be "pure" white, but can also have pattern.

    I have seen Super Fire BlkELs that have a lot of pattern and I've seen some that were pure white, not sure what dictates the bleed through of the pattern in some but not others. The BlkEL and BlueEL complexes are fascinating because of the many different "forms." Some of them seem to be one-offs of others while some are obviously different alleles.

    My guy is a Lesser Mojave and exceptionally clean. Although in the right lighting I do see a faint yellow dorsal stripe, not sure it that will stay faint or get more or less pronounced as he ages.

    He's striking nonetheless and seems less threatening to my snake-afeared friends somehow, but I think I prefer pattern. He's my daughter's so my next snake will be all mine and full of pattern!

    I am getting ready to do a bucket of white snakes picture. Waiting on one to come out of the egg. No two of the same combo. Will be interesting to see the opinions on the "whitest".
