I understand what makes them and what they look like but I have more questions.
I read about the eyes being formed in the fetus(?) by the neural crest and that's why the blue or black eyes still have pigment, because the iris tissue has a different unaffected origin. That doesn't explain why always blue or black eyes though. I'd like to know why only blue or black? This might be less of a point in snakes but still a curiosity to me. I'd also like to know more about leucistisim in other species.
