You really don't know anything about genetics. Do you know what a leucistic reptile is?
Let me give you a little help. A leucistic reptile has no pigment cells. It is not an albino that has pigment cells that don't produce pigment and have pink eyes. The leucistic trait is recessive. If you bread a wild type with a leucistic animal, all of it's offspring will look normal, but they will carry the leucistic trait. If you were to bread the offspring to each other, 1/4 would be leucistic, 1/4 would be wild types, and 1/2 would look wild but carry the trait.
If you were to cross a wild type with a leucistic, and then cross the offspring with the leucistic parrent, 1/2 of their offspring would be leucistic.
You need to do some reading on the subject. Good luck with all your breading projects.
