text is taken from the "Black
Eyed Lucy" page.....
The
Black Eyed Leucistic ball python..............what
else is there to say.........this gorgeous
White Snake was produced In England from
breeding two "aberrant" African
Imports together........the genetics are
not "in stone" as of yet ( 2004).
The "aberrant" parents when bred
together produce normals, aberrants ( like
the parents ) and Black Eyed Lucys...........the
"aberrant" snakes have been called
"Fire Balls".............The "Fire
Ball" is what is believed to be the
heterozygous form of the Black Eyed Lucy
...........basically saying that "Fire
x Fire" will produce in four eggs............1
normal..........2 Fires ( heteros ) and
one Lucy ( homo ).........Eric and Mike
over in England will be ironing out the
possibilities of this mutation in the years
to come........does "Fire x Fire"
produce Lucys consistently across the board?
As
of 2005..........the Black Eyed Lucy is
the actual "Super Fire"............the
Fires being the "hetero form"...........notice
the "spot" on the top of the Fire
Ball's head............that "spot"
and the rusty hypo color are Fire Ball traits.............."Goodness
Gracious .............Great Balls Of Fire!!"
