Unfortunately I dont see this ever happening. Zoos and institutions that have leucistics boast that their specimens are perfectly normal healthy alligators while albinos are sickly and sterile. I am paraphrasing the sign at the Leucistic display at Audubon Zoo in New Orleans.
As far as I know there are no female lucys alive (unless one of the two recently discovered ones are). All of the ones still alive from the first discovery are males.
