Do all Black-Eyed Lucy's have some yellow spotting?

[Codejunky]

True. Well, a super sulfur with rich yellow spotting is just as rare an all-white Super Fire (when compared to a BEL with a few yellow spots).


I really want to breed an all-white BEL, so that's why I want to know how to produce snakes with minimum or no yellow spotting.

Does anyone know?

All of the Black Eyed Leucistics I've seen have yellow spotting on them.

Big Gunns has seen many. Most will have some spotting on them, some a lot more than others. You can find "perfect" ones though.

bet you in 2-3 years they will be just as common as the yellow spotted BEL. i read on this thread they've only made 4 of them, there will be more just wait.

seems like from reading through this thread and many others, selective breeding seemed to get the no spotted BEL. so buy some fires that are already from a low spot BEL line and hope for the best

In all Big Gunns years he has to admit, this has to be one of the most genius cases of deductive reasoning that Big Gunns has ever seen.

Are you 100% sure on this OWA?

sometimes im not sure if you understand. hes comparing something that can be produced by pairing a sulfur to another sulfur and 25% of the time super sulfur vs an all white BEL which only a handful have been made out of many non-pure BEL's. so the rarity one vs the other will drop significantly in a couple years.

sooo.... im not sure what you getting at? should I have typed that the first time? i thought most people would understand that from my "genius case of deductive reasoning"

Big Gunns clearly understands what you're saying. What BG is trying to say is this. Obviously there will be more of them in the future. Does that really need to be pointed out? Clearly...like everything else...there will be more.

Hopefully you can understand what the "true genius" is saying this time.

In all honesty, I would be surprised if there is another Black eyed Lucy produced that is just like mine in the next 25 years. Unless it is a genetic situation involving the Mojave gene or something Eric and I have not thought of, I just do not see it happening anytime soon. The way the orange blotches just lined up......and to form a 99.9% complete stripe, (yeah, the orange stripe is one scale short of being perfect)... it going to be really hard to get another one.

I am laughing at all of the posts that say the orange blotches are lower quality or "B" Grade. I think there are plenty of people who think just the opposite. There are several ways to make a White Lucy, not many ways to make my snake.

Dave,
this is from sulfer x sulfer, have you done anything with sulfer x fire?

I would be one of those! Great looking snake! Makes me want to get back into ball pythons!
