Black Eyed Leucistic

This girl shed for the second time just before the weekend. I decided to take a few more pics. I will have her in Daytona this weekend. Anyone going to Daytona, come by the Constrictors Unlimited booth and say hi. I am look forward to seeing everyone again.

Yes, they can have yellow on their backs. The definition of a Leucistic snake is 'a white snake with no discernable pattern'. The small yellowish blemishes are random;, differing in size and number on the few black-eyed Leucistics that have been bred.
The blemishes fade as the snakes get older.
Mike: Lovely looking female, she does you credit!

....if any of these "leucistics" could possibly combine with a color morph to create that colored snake. Like most believe the Super Cinnamon will...I think the black will mess with the color of a color morph unlike most people believe. The most common I've heard is Caramel. Most are saying that the snake will be all caramel colored...but combined with the black...it would be different, correct?
Now I'm wondering that if you combine one of the "leucistics" with another color morph...could it in fact be that color? And since it is completely mute of color...that would produce the color we are looking for...such as caramels. I'm just wondering if some of the leucistics produced are in fact leucistics...or can they be combined with another snake to produce a different color...
Maybe I'm way off base...but I'm just throwing this out there....
