whats the difference between a Pink-Eye Leucistic Texas Rat Snake and a reg leucistic rat snake? is it just a leucistic bred with a albino and thats how they get the pink eye? I saw some in the classifieds, so I was just curious. anyone have pics of the pink eye as an adult? does anyone know if the turn solid white like a leucistic? or do they stay a pink color? thnx again.

Texas Ratsnake to have blue (or dark) eyes. To me, a pink eyed snake is an amelanistic snake, not a leucistic. But I might be wrong, so feel free to post your opinion.

The red eyed leucistics are homo for leucisticism and amelanism. As to whether they retain a pink color into adulthood I am unsure. I am not much of a texas rat person. Sorry I couldn't be more helpfull.

Red eyed leucistics are indeed leucistic snakes that are also albino. I've only ever seen one adult red/pink eyed leuc, but it looked the exact same as a normal leuc, except with red/pink eyes.

If you have a red eyed leuc, you can breed it with an amel, and come out with amel babies. It's kind of nice- you can have two different snakes, and still come out with babies that aren't normal.

sounds awsome. I ordered one pink leucistic 06 hatchling and one MBK hatchling! they should be arriving sometime today, so I will post pics when i get em!! thnx for everyone's help
