*** wow you just really don't get it do you? first i'm using "white snake" loosely meaning that that combo would look just like a super mojave. second, if you really understood anything about genetics or disorders, such as leucism, you would understand that leucism just flat out doesnt allow pigment to be made.

Leucism (occasionally spelled leukism) is a general term for the phenotype resulting from defects in pigment cell differentiation and/or migration from the neural crest to skin, hair or feathers during development. This results in either the entire surface (if all pigment cells fail to develop) or patches of body surface (if only a subset are defective) having a lack of cells capable of making pigment. ***

Hi,

Not trying to be argumentative in this and really more of adding my two cents. The super mojave maybe termed a "lucy" but the "coloring" isn't consistent with every snake. Have you seen the super mojave with the purple back posted for sale a few months ago? This is part of the fun of wondering "oh hey what if I add another morph into it." The pastel super mojave's head is whiter so it means that it CAN be affected by other morphs. Maybe, a cinnamon gene will make the head appear darker and that would be awesome. Maybe it would make a purple stripe appear and that would be awesome. With ball pythons, you just never know so don't just "say" it's not going to look any different... prove it. Make your own super mojave super cinnamon.
