thank you
so, in theory my "snow white" should genetically be the same as what others call leucistic
it is interesting/ confusing because even established breeders seem to make a distinction between the two
I guess it comes down to the phenotype(color morph) of similar genetics
when breeders use the term het for leucistic, i guess they are saying that the dragons carry the gene(not necessarily show the gene)
