A leucistic eastern was found last week in Missouri. I was lucky enough that the guy who found it held onto it and contacted me. Long story short i bought her from him today and she is due to arrive next week. The photo's are not the best but here they are anyway. I will take better ones once i have her in my care. So what do you guys think? I'm also in need of a nice looking normal male for her.

Nice! She is a little thin but i'm sure you can fatten her up. Hope she does well for you so you can produce some pure clean white leucistics. Is the dark patch a scar, leaf or dark pigment?

Maybe it's also a paradox? Grats. Oh, looks like the dark spot disappeared.

I thought eastern garters were from the eastern parts of the USA?.
