what do i have?

forkit Oct 25, 2005 09:06 PM

i bought this leopard for a solitary pet but now i am considering breeding. unfortunately its been hard for me to find comprehensive descriptions and genetics of phases, so here goes

normal colored eyes, dark olive green with black slits. light purple/lavender head, body and tail, no spots whatsoever. white belly.

i bought it as an "aleucistic" which my dad claimed meant "no black pigment". but i think that discription is a little sparse. id like to know how this coloration is referred to, and what its genetics are(recessive? heterogenous?). what colorations would the offspring have if bred with other colorations, or the same?

thanks in advance.

If the Leo was purchased from a petstore as a Luec, it is more then likely a Patternless (not a true Luec). It is thought that a Blizzard is actually the Luec form of the Leo.

judging from the pictures on that site, i have a blizzard. only one more thing to be sure, do blizzards have normal eyes or red?

and also what color should i breed it with for neat offspring?
