Blue Eyed Leucistics - question regarding BluEL offspring

[Ssthisto]

But a Blue-Eyed Leucistic doesn't HAVE to be a homozygous animal.

It can be het Mojave, het Lesser - it's heterozygous for two different alleles, even if there's no "normal-wildtype" gene at the locus.

I would like to see a citation for a visual normal animal that is heterozygous for a gene that will produce Blue-eyed Leucistics... that sounds interesting!

Nope it doesn't. Which, like any combo, it's very important to know whom it's parents were.

There seems to be a whole spectrum of apperences for mutations in this allele complex paired with normal. From lesser to Vin Russo (which while subtle is reported to be an identifialbe morph) to RDR's hidden that makes Platy combined with lesser some are obvious morphs to anyone but it might be that only the hidden is compleatly normal looking. Marshall Van Thorre bred a girl he purchased as a normal and produced BEL but she had enough markers for him to suspect she was in the complex to pair for BEL in the first place. I know I'm pairing my ch clear belly/cyclops alien girls with my Mojave just in case.
