There are several ways that you can make an all white snake, however the leucistic snake is the cleanest-looking white. You would need to breed a Mojave or Lesser Platinum to each other or together in order to get a leucistic Ball. Other heterozygous leucistic morphs include the Fire Ball and the Vin Russo (or Lemon Yellow Ball), although I'm not sure if those last two are compatible with the others. Of the four, the Mojave is the least expensive.

There are a few different ways to get a Leucistic.
These are the breedings that have been proven.

Het Leucistic (Russo Line) X Het Leucistic (Russo Line)
Lesser Platinum X Phantom
Lesser Platinum X Lesser Platinum
Platinum X Lesser Platinum
Lesser Platinum X Mojave
Mojave X Mojave
Het Leucistic (Russo Line) X Mojave

All are pretty expensive, but as XYZ stated, the mojave is probably the least expensive.
Hope that helps.
Good Luck!

The easiest way to obtain a leucistic ball python is to go to a breeder and buy one. If you want to breed one, it's a little more difficult, but there's a couple ways to go about it. The easiest is to have a pair of leucistics, that way all the offspring will be leucistic. The other way is to have a pair of snakes thare are het for leucistic; this way is not as surefire becuase unless they are first gen het, they may not carry the gene for leucism. Either way, if both snakes are indeed het, about a quarter of the offspring will be leucistic.
