Depends on what sort of leucistic you are after. Yellow belly royals are the het form of the ivory, a "leucistic" of sorts, but it still has a lot of colour, mostly yellow running along the dorsal.

A super mojave will get you a leucistic too, but there will be some colour pigment around the head and dorsal.

Lessers produce the cleanest co dominant blue eyed leucistic and Fires are the het form of the black eyed leucistic, the purest of them all... and the most expensive LOL

I would personally get a pair of mojaves, just because they are one of my favourite morphs and I like the BEL they produce. Although its not a crystal white snake, its pretty darn close.

Mojave x mojave creates an 'off-white' leucy
lesser platty x lesser platty creates a slightly cleaner leucy
fire x fire = black eyed leucy (the best)

I think alot of people prefer the mojaves because they can be gotten alot cheaper than lessers.

You could try mojave x mojave
lesser platty x lesser platty
lesser platty x mojave
yellow belly x yellow belly
etc
There are no strict rules.
The clutch would produce the individual morphs and maybe 1 leucy normally.
So for a mojave x mojave you would in theory end up with 3 mojaves and 1 leucy

Mojaves are only a fraction cheaper than lessers, I wouldn't compromise on price for something that was better quality, however I personally just much prefer the super mojave, and the mojave as a co dominant morph in its-self.

I do like mojaves but im more of a lesser fan and prefer the cleaner white of the lesser x lesser morph.
This year ive seen mojaves for as little as £600 but the cheapest lesser ive seen is £1000 and that was out of the egg price.
I think its only because lessers havent been around as long as mojaves rather than because they are better etc.
Im thinking of experimenting with mojave x lesser though so will see what happens.

Believe it or not, a white royal is the most undesireable morph. Perhaps because so many combinations produce a white snake, and because a leucistic cannot be "worked on".

Nonevertheless, I just want a pet leucistic royal.
