Leucistic wild caught adult female

[Jeff B]

Yesterday I acquired a long term captive adult wild caught female luecistic eastern garter. She was raised by a young girl and has never been bred. She did eat a couple nightcrawlers. I put my male snow eastern in with her hoping they will breed and she will produce some babies in a few months. If so they will be triple hets for leucistic, melanistic, and albino no ery or flame blood (Tom I know you will like that). This female has very dark eyes rather than blue. In ball pythons there are blue eyed leucistic and black eyed leucistics and they are not compatible with each other. It is possible this is a different leucistic form than the current one in the hobby. Time will tell if they are compatible. I think it will be interesting to see what happens with the combination of melanistic and leucistic.
Enjoy

Most importantly this leucisistic girl is significant in that it may provide another form of leucistic to the hobby, but at the very least it provides another line for out crossing to keep leucistics going, but yes it was like a Christmas present too, I won't lie I love looking at her several times a day.
