just because you've never seen one doesn't mean they don't exist.
Nobody said that. However, you haven't seen it either. Claims of new morphs are greeted with skepticism, because the vast majority of those claims are false. If you had a picture or something it would help, but people aren't going to take a claim as seriously when it is backed up only by "my cousin's sister's hairdresser's former roommate saw it," or other hearsay.
it wasn't that long ago that they thought leusism in hognose snakes didn't exist, but it does-see photo below.
This really has nothing to do with cornsnakes or kisatchies. Nobody is arguing that leucistic corns can't exist, or that your claim is impossible. In fact I am one of the people who will argue that someday it WILL pop up. I even say so in my book.
I think you are mistaking skepticism for unbelief. I'm sure we'd all like to see one, but the kind of claim you are making has proven unreliable so many times in the past. Many of us are simply unwilling to accept it on such a flimsy claim.
maybe they think it's a kisatchi because it was caught in a state park that is maybe known to have kisatchi's, i don't know.
I dunno either. My question was directed to those on this board who DO work with Kisatchies. Remember that there are like 4000 registered users of this board and there are many people reading this thread.
What I was asking was, without color/pattern on the snake, would you be able to tell the difference between a leucistic corn, a leucistic kisatchie, and a leucistic emoryi (and a leucistic cross or black rat or otherwise?)
I don't know the answer to that question, but I bet there are about a half dozen or so who would be able to give a good answer and enlighten us all.
all i know is what my cousin told me, and he only told me what was told to him.
Right. Just remember that we don't know you from Adam, let alone your cousin. So don't be surprised if we don't all take your claim at face value.
