what are some distinguishing patterns on a lesser?

[devinrw]

I am new to porphs and want to breed for a lucy.. my buddy also said he would sell me a breeding pair of mojaves for 200 but i think I would like a super leeser lucy better( I dont even know if he has any...) but what are some patterns to look for in distinguishing a lesser from all others?

Since lesser is a colour and not a pattern mutation they can come in pretty much any pattern a wild type can.

My way of telling a lesser (since it is a color morph) is 'bronze and gold' or 'bronze and silver'. A good lesser should look almost metallic (though obviously without the sheen) in coloration.

Lesser is both a color and a pattern mutation (there are exception's). Lesser's have a very almost chocolate/purple look to them as hatch-lings and as they grow they tend to get more of a copper and rust color. The pattern should be reduced and have very few if any eye's in the alien heads this to me marks a good lesser.

It isn't about the pattern at all. some like more reduced, some like more busy.

Lesser male, crazy crazy crazy pattern, just how a good lesser should be

Here is what is important to me in a lesser... in order.

1) color
2) cool pattern (please note the REAL alien head on his neck...)
3) eyes (quality lessers have some of the best looking eyes of all the BP morphs)

And here are some mojaves... as you can see they are a totally different color.





Sure hope this dotted back is genetic....

Oh, I'll play, because I like showing off my kiddo's.

Here are my two lesser. I prefer completely reduced in my lessers.

Mike that is a perfect mojave! I do have to say I prefer clean lessers/butters.
