They are misleading you,they are albino patternless, exactly what makes a snake turn leucistic is still unknown but scientist injected a proper color chromasome into the scale of a albino snake and it scale recieved the color and changed into the proper color, when the same treatment was given to a leucistic specimen the color was rejected. So thou we can recreate them we still can't explane 'em, or why we cant create an albino leucistic... My advise is to stick with leucistic and aviod the albino fad, due to their weeker genes, beginners like the designer snakes, true respectible pros only breed normal snakes to normal snakes. sorry if that offends anyone.
