well guys..here is what i know about leucistics and albinos. I once read an article that stated scientists injected the proper color cromasome into the patterned area of an albino snakes scale and the scale accepted the proper color but when injected into a leucistic snakes scale it totally rejected color and reamined white, so I'm convinced leucisticisim is a dominant trait. as for the other phases...anytheiristic means lacking red pigment. amelanistic means lacking black pigment and axanthic means lacking color..(other than black or grey or white) patternless pines are common north of gainsville and offspring from patternless will produce both normals and patternless young. snow is a albino without red ,orange or pink pigments but has pink eyes (albino)leucistics are normal in every aspect but lacking all colors but all seem to have either a yellow or pink tinge. I personally only breed normals to normals but like leucistics but would only breed the whitiest to the whitiest. and don't think for a minute that people are franticly mixing phases and species all the time and more and more often so you'll spend a lifetime tring to sort all the morphs out on the dynamics principal....but good luck tom......JB
