    Butter and lesser

    What's the big differences between lesser and butter. Some people say it's the same thing other people say different morph. Thought and opinions!?!?

    I think that they're the same but I can't say for sure.

    There is no difference whatsoever so don't for fall any marketing ploys claiming one is more costly than the other. I had someone once tell me "I have a Lesser that looks like a Butter"... There was also a $100 difference in between his Lesser's and Butter's.

    I have hatched enough Lesser's, Butter's, Butles's, Lesbut's, whatever you want to call them, and have seen so much variance from one sibling to the next, that I can say it's all the same.

    I also feel the same about Cinnamon's & Black Pastel's, het Red's & Green Pastel's, Banana's & Coral Glow's, Paint's & Sentinel's, and a couple others I can't think of right now.

    Re: Butter and lesser

    So why is their separate names, it used to always be lesser and then the whole butter thing came out later. What are people saying are the differences???

    Re: Butter and lesser

    Because it's a marketing ploy to shoot the price up to make more money

    It seems to be more the case of separate lines of the same morph. It is even worse with Hypo lines.

    Re: Butter and lesser

    Well the hypo lines, to my knowledge, are incompatible so they have to be named differently.

    Actually most are compatible. I am of course assuming the hypo is still with regard to ball pythons.

    Major lines are actually compatible.


    Orange Ghost, Bell, Butterscotch are all compatible, I work with all 3 and have cross them so I can tell you that much.

    Now there are other such as Blue Ghost that are not compatible however those are not animals you see very often.
