    Combo to make the whitest cleanest Leucistics?

    So I am thinking about buying a pair of balls to make some lucys. However I have seen a lot of dirty BELs around, like with faded pattern showing through or with yellowish tinge. I want to make pure white, blue eyed Leucistics. I was thinking of doing either a Lesser x Lesser or Mojave x Mojave... would either pairing make me clean BELs, would the cleaner lesser or Mojave effect how the BELs turned out? I think at least right now the Russo hets are over my head, but what would make the whitest luycs? Or a combination of maybe a Lesser and a Mojave or how about throwing a butter in there? There are a lot of locals selling Mojaves around here so that would really be the easiest/cheapest I just wanted opinions on how to make the best.

    All super Mojaves have a gray head. They are not a very clean white BEL. Super Lessers and Super Butters are pretty white, but tend to have bug eyes.


    I've heard that white diamonds are one of the more pure white lucys out there. Cheapest way to make a BEL is with het. Russos or a pair of Mojaves. But like I said, Super Mojave BELs aren't clean.

    Myself personally is going for lesser mojaves.

    I'm a big fan of the het Russo x Mojave. They look great every time.

    I believe the super lessers have better blue eyes then the rest.

    White Diamonds > Lesser x Mojave > Mojave x Het Russo > Super Lesser / Butter > Super Mojave

    Just my thoughts. I plan to just buy a WD pure female, and make my own via Lesser x Mojave.

    Lesser/Butter Lucy


    As much as I like the clean pure white looks of the super Lesser/Butter I won't do the breeding again...

    Actually, I think Lesser pieds make the cleanest white snakes. I know that Ralph produced one with zero pattern. You'ld need to put more time into the project, but I think it would be worth it.
