This is my Lucy. She is a Russo BEL that I got directly from Vin Russo. She is still young, but I am contemplating obtaining a future mate for her. Now I know the combinations used to create blue eyed leucistics (lesser, mojave, phantom, Russo het, phantom, butter), but I am wondering if there is anything I should know about breeding a BEL, such as compatability issues? I would like to be able to breed her and get nice clean blue eyed leucistics out of her.... at least some. Would breeding her to a BEL that came from a different combination or to any or the morphs used to make BELs produce nice clean leucistics, or would she have to be bred to a Russo leucistic or het to produce them?

I know I have plenty of time to find a mate for her, but at the same time I would like to be practical and buy a dominant / codominant morph male that could also be bred to my big normal female to produce morphs. I have heard that someone in my area has blue eyed leucistic for sale that was produced with a mojave / lesser combination. I saw a picture, and it is a stunning, clean, white snake, but I'm not even sure if it is a male yet. Before I inquire, I want to know if this would even be a compatible match for my Russo BEL. Also, if this mojave / lesser BEL were bred to a normal, I could expect it to produce some lessers and mojaves, right?

What kind of male would you get?
