Albino versions of the Leucistic Texas Rats have been produced for years now.



They have red eyes, pink (instead of red) tongues, and an overall white colouration that is not much different from the normal Leucistics. Some of the Albino Leucys have a barely noticeable pink or cream tinge to their white colouration.



The breeder I bought my pair of Leucy Texas Rats from also produces the Albino version, and I've seen them side by side in person.

My opinion? The normal Leucys, with their dark eyes, are by far a more visually striking snake. The Albino Leucys look like my Blizzard Corns.



All that being said, could we be comparing apples to oranges? Afterall, the Leucy Texas Rats are WITHOUT A DOUBT leucistic, while the jury seems to still be deliberating as to which white Balls are actually Leucistic.
