    Re: Leucistic Question

    It looks to still be a baby so was it acting different than other pearls at that age and that is why they are hoping it will survive longer?

    Several years ago they thought a lesser pearl would survive but I thought I heard later that it didn't. Suppose it's possible another mutation might compensate but seems very unlikely.

    They don't know, thats why they have to do more breeding to figure out what fixed it.

    I think it was MA Balls that did a couple videos, which shows Kevin going around showing off a bunch of snakes. He pulls out a pearl and you can see exactly what it does, the snake I took a picuture of was acting 100% normal
