    Lesser vs Lesser Platinums?

    Ok so I hear that they are the same but I just have a hard time believing it. To me it looks like Lesser Platinums have a lot darker browns are are just generally darker. I have a Lesser that just looks like it glows compared to ones I see. So is it just me with the darker Plats or do I just have a really Bright one?



    This is my Lesser Girl with my normal male.
    I hope to get peoples input good or bad haha. Thank you

    Lesser is a abbreviation of Lesser Platinum, the morph that descended from the original "Platinum" imported by Ralph Davis back in the day. http://www.ralphdavisreptiles.com/co...all_python.asp

    Their colors can vary, for example here is my Lesser Platinum:
