Genetic
Morph: Leucistic " Blue Eye",
Super Russo, Super Lesser , Phantom Lesser
, Blue Eyed Lucy
Status: Co-Dominant
When: 2002 and 2003
By Whom: Vin Russo ( 02 Russo Line
) and Ralph Davis ( 03 Phantom x Lesser
, 04 Platty x Lesser )
In
the 2002 Breeding Season I was very fortunate
enough to hatch a Blue Eyed Leucistic Ball
Python from 2 Normal appearing Ball Pythons.
I have truly been blessed with this very
rare and magnificent creature. The Blue
eyes almost look through you. Leucism is
the rarest color morph in all reptiles (
Less than 1 in 10,000 ). This Project will
occupy most of my time for the next few
years.

I
produced 2.1 "Blue Eyed Lucy"
in 2003 from breeding a Lesser Platty male
to a Phantom female..........then in 2004
I produced 0.2 lucy from the same breeding
( Lesser x Phantom ) and 0.3 from breeding
"Platty Daddy" to two of his Lesser
Platty daughters.............the lucys from
the Lesser x Phantom have blue eyes and
a very faint "off white" broken
dorsal stripe down the spine.............the
lucys from Platty Daddy x Lesser are blue
eyed, pure white with ZERO dorsal markings............the
"whitest" Lucy on the planet to
date!!! ( Platty x Lesser )
Check
out the Phantom
and Platinum
"Proven Traits" page for more
info on how I produced the Blue Eyed Leucistic
ball pythons in 2003.
As
of 2005..........I have figured out that
Platty X Lesser and Lesser X Lesser produce
a "Super Lesser" that is pure
white with blue eyes...........no faint
dorsal markings or "cheek marks"..........it's
just WHITE!!
Phantom
Lesser Lucys have a pale dorsal stripe and
blue eyes............they are the actual
cross of a Phantom and a Lesser.
