    Leucistic albinos

    Okay, so I've actually had this in mind since seeing Cutting Edge Herp's Polar Ball (Picture below) which from my understanding is an albino Russo leucistic. I'm wondering if it would be possible to produce a similar snake but with fires resulting in a black eyed leucistic albino which would hopefully have a similar patterning like the Polar. Anyone else think this is possible or is this just the result of something different happening with the Russo leucistic genes?

    I would think with a Albino BkEL, there would be no pattern. I guess there is a possibility the yellow splotches (if there are any) could turn pinkish at first.

    I would be interested to see the Polar Ball as an adult. I would think it would lose a lot of that contrast. I think in this case, the Russo Lucys have a stripe and this is just accentuated here as pink.

    That's a valid point. Hatchlings do tend to lose a lot of their contrast into adulthood so it's very likely that the Polar doesn't look the like it once did but hey, I've yet to actually see a more recent picture of this guy so you never know. :S

    I would not see the polar ball looking like an Albino BlkEL, the pink is exactly what is normally yellow on a super russo. Super fires sometimes have yellow spots so I would assume that would be all you see. Super sulfurs might be the way to go if your looking for pink pattern, they need to have a lot more yellow. I haven't seen updated pictures of the polar ball either so can't tell you if it keeps the pink or not.
