The Blue Eyed Leucistics from my line have no pattern or color blotches. I attached a pic of a one. I also attached a pic of a Het leucistic from my line.
My take on the whole leucistic Ball thing is this. All of the "Blue Eyed Leucistic Making Balls " ( Lessers - Mojaves - My hets etc ) are very strong incomplete dominant ( some people call it Co dominant ) traits. Its my opinion that these strong traits simply erase eachother ( some erase more than others )& therefore all make some kind of erased snake ( Leucistics ). But I have now seen that if you add another trait it seems that the eraser doesnt work as well & that is why a bit of some pattern is left behind on the double homozygous Leucistics.
I think we have only seen the tip of the iceburg with the leucistic trait.
