Re: The good 'ol blue eyed lucy complex
Aye aye aye....brain strain. Its a sunday morning too 
so... let me get this straight, the Blue-Eyed Leucistic complex is the group of mutations which all react with each other, producing a homozygous form when crossed, kinda like motley and stripe in corn snakes. They're allelic?
But the appearance of the homozygous form will vary depending on what makes it up, and many of the crosses produce a white snake- the BEL, which give the 'complex' its name.
Some crosses haven't been done yet so you cant be sure they definately do produce a homozygous form but they probably do.
Mystic x any of the regulars ie lesser, mojave, het russo, mocha, buter will make a BEL. But its probably the same thing as a phantom. Phantoms when crossed with any in the list above will make BELS too, but not with each other (super phantom), they make a darker snake with pattern. Because its probably the same as mystic, then you can guess that a supermystic will look the same, or very similar.
Butter and lesser are really the same thing, just different lines...
I'm still not up to date on the specials though. Apparently they make a 'crystal' which i gather is not a BEL when bred with mojaves since it has colour/pattern. So since they react with mojave that makes them part of the BEL complex....but are arent thought to produce Blue eyed lucys when crossed with anything, given how they have so far reacted with a mojave?
With the lesser x lesser, lesser x butter, mojave x lesser, etc etc basic crossings the white snakes produced are simply called Blue Eyed Leucistics. Theyre not given individual names. Yet the homozygous Vin russo is a white diamond, and a homozygous mocha a latte....so is a vin russo x something else eg lesser just a regular Blue eyed lucy and isnt called a white diamond too or anything?
Are their any other names then for any of the homozygous forms of various crosses that havent been mentioned so far, therefore excluding lattes, white diamonds and crystals?
That is all.
