Hypothetical thought experiment...

[Nathanhimmerich]

If you theoretically had a lesser yellowbelly and bred it to a mojave yellowbelly (or any blue eyed lucy complex and black eyed lucy complex to blue eyed lucy complex and black eyed lucy complex), what color would the eyes be on a super yellowbelly mojave lesser? It'd be a black eyed lucy blue eyed lucy.

I have nooooo idea. The blue eyes in a blue eyed lucy don't come from a lack of pigmentation like in humans, at least not complete, so I don't imagine it would wash the black out to blue by default...and would the pupil still be red from the black eyed lucy side regardless of the color of the iris?

I think you should try it and let us know

Hi,

Well... to be strict about it the ivory isn't a black-el.

But lessers also have light eyes and so do mojaves so I'd thiiiiink it would be a blue eyed lucy with pattern hidden but viewable on the head with blacklight.

Can you explain what you mean, I thought ivory is considered black eyed lucy? My Ivory sure has black eyes so I'm not sure what you mean.

Right, then I guess I mean a theoretical super fire super lesser.

Nevermind, did some more digging and found a picture of one. Mike Wilbanks made a super fire super butter in 2013! The eyes are black with a red pupil, but with a blue ring around the outside. How crazy!
