| Also known as a Blacked Eyed White (BEW), a leucistic sugar glider is all white with no markings and black eyes. Some leucistic gliders to have faint yellowish markings. The leucistic gene is believed to be recessive to normal (WT). This means that both gliders must carry the gene in order for them to produce a white offspring. Any glider from the leucistic lines is considered a possible het until it has produced white sugar glider. The only exception is the first generation from a white parent. If one of the parents is white, the joey will carry the leucistic gene. Leucistic sugar gliders are still quite rare and waiting lists can be long. Most breeders will require a USDA license to purchase a leucistic or a 100% het. This is not a law or a requirement of federal or state authorities, this is purly a preference of the breeder for their own reasons. As of April 2007, expect to pay around $2,000.00 for a white female, and $2500.00 for a white male. First generation hets, normal color gliders with one white parent, generally start at about $1000.00.
