Beautiful animals
I understand why you would want to separate the name from the all white blue eyed leucistic in other colubrids. I just feel the ‘paradox’ is a misnomer since they can still have some color like in the ball python BEL or BlkEL complex.

Absolutely love the WC adult’s color.

Hope it gets approved!
