Re: Lucy or Leucistic?

The other spot on the black-eyed leucistic complex could be either Normal*, a second copy of Fire, or Vanilla, but there is no way to tell by looking at her. Blacklight can sometimes help see subtle differences between morphs in white snakes, but having genes from both complexes working together to remove pigment makes is even more difficult than an ordinary BEL. Pastel and Enchi are morphs in different locations of the DNA, which the BEL is making impossible to see are or aren't present by looking at her. Once you breed her and get hatchlings, you should be able to start narrowing down exactly what she does and doesn't have.
Thanks nikkubus, any suggestions what may be the cause of the red pupils?
My initial plan is to pair her with my pastel spotnose when she's old enough, but that could change as he's going to be paired with my enchi pin before that time comes, and who knows what males may be worth holding back there, then?!
