Are Leucistics in our future?

ajfreptiles Aug 01, 2007 02:43 PM

Well, here is a link to what Wiki has to say about it...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucism

Now, This guy always boggles my mind when I pull him out....

He is from my 12/12/05 litter of Incredibles and I always call him Platinum...because he just looks the part...

He is a Hypo....but you would swear he was a Ghost...but he does have red pigment...but who knows....?

He is Loaded with white...and getting Whiter! Belly is pure white and just a minute portion of black toward the tail end not even a full ring...

He has a date with a Stripe line het albino this year.

Hope you like him!

Andy, that is a really unique looking boa you have given the fact that it is a hypo. It's colors are so faint and washed out. You are right I kinda thought ghost until I saw the tail. That is a keeper for sure. As for leucistics? I sure hope they are in the future

Does look like a ghost until you get down to his tail. I wonder how he would do in a ghost project, you might get some really nice ghost.

Andy, that's about as clean and creamy as it gets. Very sweet boa. It reminded me of this guy. Thanks for posting.
