Leucistic Leos?

[garner63080]

Ok call me an idiot but I have yet to grasp the concept of a Leucistic leopard gecko. From my knowledge of this term it should be solid white with blue or black eyes. Can someone please help me out here? I keep seeing Leucistic Leos popping up everywhere.

Leucistic was first used for a Murphy's Patternless, but was incorrect. A true leucistic is the Blizzard morph. That's what I've always read anyway.

There is no true leucistic.

I didn't think there was such a thing. Well it's a shame that breeders out there lable geckos as such. I was on Kingsnake.com the other day ans see several "Leucistic" leopards for sale. Would you call this mislableing unethical or just unknowlageable?

I agree with Thorgecko, there is no True Leucistic. Blizzards are still able to produce yellow coloration, so they cannot be leucistics.
