"I am just curious, not specifically to you Dan, but to everyone saying that Lesser/Mojave and SuperLesser are the whitest leucistics out there, have any of you ever seen an adult of these? Every adult "white" BluEL I have seen has had a yellowish tint to it and often a discernible yellow dorsal stripe... This includes SuperLesser, Lesser/Mojave and Lesser/Russo. Whereas the couple white adult BlkELs (and even the white on adult BlkELs with coloured patches) have been very pure and clean."

I currently have three adult white breeders. A Spider Super Mojave, a Lesser/Mojave, and an Ivory. I have had them since they were a year or less old and their color has not changed. The Super Mojave's degree of white changes according to where he is in his shed cycle. He get's "dirty" when close to shedding. The other two do not. My purple passions do not get "dirty" either.
As to Super Fires, I do not disagree. This is a line breeding issue that can be pushed one way or another over generations.
