You are correct, they would all be normal offspring. Some would be het for leucism and some would be het for amelanism. (If this were even a proven trait for alligators)
I based my initial response on albinism in alligators. We know that a proven pair of alligators carrying the albinism gene were responsible for all of the albinos. We dont know what the parents of the leucistics carry or how exactly some of their offspring are homozygous for leucism.
But now that I think about it, the original question was a little misleading. Has anyone ever seen a amelanistic alligator? I have seen hypomelanistic ones but not one that has no color and is not either albino or leucistic.
