First of all let's get on the same page terminology page:

Leucistic: Does not exist. What I believe you are talking about is a Patternless Leopard Gecko. This is the correct, accepted term for what was misnamed a long time ago. Just like scientific names change from time to time to better reflect the organism, Patternless is the best description for this animal.

Genetics:

The Patternless trait is a recessive trait. That means that in order for the trait to be expressed (be visible) it requires both pairs to be present.

So.....

When you mate a Patternless (or Blizzard or Albino) to any other animal that does not have the Patternless trait, you will get normal looking babies.
