Hi guys! :-)

I have a question. I'm new to the forum--but not snakes. My very first snake was a ball when I was in high school. I've been doing burms and retics but due to some pretty bad back injuries, I can't do the big guys anymore, so I decided to come back to my first love, the balls. :-)

Anyway, my question is about the Black Eyed leucy's. In retics, the leucys are death traps. Genetics not strong and they all die after a couple years. Ball leucys are older and have been bred for a longer time. I'm curious if they are stronger, then? The black eyed leucy has been a dream snake since I first saw them and Bob has a couple for sale. I want to be sure I'm not going to get an animal that will die a couple years into it due to a weak strain.

Any help is appreciated. :-)

Thanks so much. :-)

Robert
