I'm sure we've all read about leucistic geckos, particularly in leopards. When the blizzards first came out, they were thought to be true leucistics, but now there's rumblings that they aren't. I'm really curious if there's an 'official' verdict out yet.
Going by what I've been told, leucism is defined as white skinned, no other pigments and is commonly confused with albinism. THe way I udnerstand it, leucistic leos should have blue or slightly darker eyes, and no other body colours other than white, and white nails? Since blizzards come can have black spots or be entirely black (midnight), yellow/cream and some even have orange on their tails, it should then rule them out as true leucistic geckos, shouldn't it? While we're at it, if leucistic means white, how did the patternless end up being labelled as leucistic?
