White snake?

[Pitttownboy]

What is it called when a snake is pure white and has black eyes, is this trait hereditary. Cheers james

If it has blue eyes then that is normally classed as leucistic, I am not sure about black eyes

I googled it. They look amazing!!! I sort of wish I could have one... The website I found said its co-dominant... I don't remember if I'm allowed to post links. Someone delete if it's not allowed please I also don't know if it's relevant since we don't have ball pythons here...

Leucistic, they have normal coloured eyes but are all white and I think it is co-dominant.

Not my cup of tea, reminds me of intestines.......

So if It was bred back thru its father or brother would more be produced

Theoretically, yes. Except the only known Aussie leucies are Super Jags and we all know the problem there

The mode of inheritance depends on the species and the mutation. Some leucistic traits are recessive while some are dominant and some co-dominant.

Not talking bout jags I don't even own jags

 

[andynic07]

Leucistic is what it is called and I used the jag thread to explain co-dominance but as someone else has pointed out that may not be the only mode of inheritance. No body has said you own a jag.

Do you own a white snake with black eyes? If so: cool!!! Don't let anyone steal him/her

 

[saximus]

Not talking bout jags I don't even own jags

So are you suggesting you have a leucy that hasn't come from a Jag pairing or are you just asking about the mutation/morph?

there are solid white albinos that are just polygenic

True, but they wouldn't have black eyes.

paul from uk pythons had a really nice one but yes it didn't have black eyes just normal pink/albino eyes
