What would happen if I bred a 100% leucistic Glider with a WFB glider 100%......?

You would get grays, WFBs or Leus. The grays or WF would be 66% het for Leu.

Cool ok thanks

Not sure your questions is clear. What do you mean by "WFB glider 100%......"

The white face trait is dominant so there is no way to tell if the WFB carries one or two genes for White Face.

A leucistic glider is by definition 100% in that it takes 2 of the recessive gene to produce a leu. If you meant 100% Leu Het - which would be a grey glider that had a leu parent so you know it carries one of the recessive genes, you would only get grey or white face gliders.

To get a leu glider from a pairing of a leu and a WFB - the WFB would have to also carry the leu gene.

All joeys from a leu parent are 100% Leu Het and might produce a leu in the NEXT GENERATION if the 100% leu het joey is paired with another 100% leu het.

A WFB who has both genes and a white one with both genes

OK - a white (leucisitc glider) and a white face glider that has two white face genes (no way to tell if it does or not) would ONLY Produce White Face joeys that are 100% leu het.

If the White Face does not carry 2 genes for the dominant white face trait, you would have a 50% chance of having a white face or a grey, but they would still be 100% leu het.

You would have no chance of getting a leu glider from the pair.

Candy... I love this! It's like a beautiful foreign language that I don't understand but could listen to for hours.... LOL.

Genetics can be very complicated. I tried to simplify it as much as possible but when you start combining additional traits it gets very confusing.
