butter or lesser?
bit confused, wot is the difference (if any) between a butter ball and a lesser platty?
some people say they r the same and other sites have them as bein different.
plannin a lesser male in future 4 breedin wi a mojave and a pinstripe but wondered if maybe a butter (if different) would produce better resulting morphs.

Depends on who you ask.. To me they are the same thing..

Re: butter or lesser?
Some people do believe it is is just a different strain of the same gene. I, like some others, believe that the butter will hold its buttery yellow color through adulthood much better than a lesser. Lessers are generally a different overall color and lessers that hatch out with alot of yellow usually lose that yellow with age. IMO

Re: butter or lesser?
does tis then mean that they will both produce the same results when breeding and that a butter will still produce a BEL when bred 2 a mojave?

Re: butter or lesser?
Butter's = more yellow
Both are very good looking morphs.

Mojaves, Butters and Lessers can all produce BEL's.

Butters = more yellow = myth
They are the same to me, and at this point so many "lessers" have been sold as "butters" by people trying to make a few extra $$ there is no telling what you are buying in many cases anyway. Just find the nicest snake you can and you will be happy.

Couldn't have said it any better.

Re: butter or lesser?
think a poll would've been a good idea...
my vote would go to butter/lesser = same animal
