If you bred two fire Mojaves together you'd get:

Some normals (neither fire nor mojave)
Some fires
Some mojaves
Some more Fire Mojaves
Some black-eyed leucistics
Some Super Mojaves (which I refuse to call leucistic - they are not dark eyed WHITE snakes)
And almost certainly some "these look like actual blue-eyed leucistics" which will be homozygous fire, homozygous mojave.

I'm willing to bet that the "blue eyed leucistic" trait changes the eye colour at a stage of the process before the black eyed leucistic does (since it reduces/changes the pigment in the eye) and therefore a double leucistic would probably look blue-eyed. It might have DIFFERENT blue eyes, though.

You can bet your bottom dollar fire mojaves (call them what you will) will be smoking) I doubt the two genes will be compatible in the sense that you'll get a white snake but fire does aweseom things to anythign it touches.

I think the same, I don't believe you could/would get a 'one black one blue eye' etc, I doubt you would visually be able to tell the difference either, it would more than likely just be 'another white snake', FireJaves have been made though.

Though I am only guessing, I would assume that a super fire super mojave would be:

Cleaner white head than a super mojave because of the super fire.
Fewer yellow blotches than a poor-quality super fire because of the super mojave.
Blue or blue-grey eyes from the super mojave (because super mojave 'breaks' the pigment production)

That said, the blue-eyed white snake you get might not look like a Lesser/Lesser Blue Eyed Leucistic because of the super fire influence...
