New member - Future breeder - got a question

[wrapped_up]

Hello everyone. (I promise there is a question at the end of this novel!) I currently have a young female Lesser and I planned on buying a male lesser in a year or so to put to her for my first breeding attempt. I really want a BEL for my collection. Recently a friend of mine wants to get his own ball and also likes BEL's and now wants to partner up and make some babies which is cool, but he's hooked on Firefly's now. He will obviously be getting a male to put to my girl but clearly no BEL's from that pairing, and that's OK, I'm patient. I'll be totally happy producing the morphs possible from that pairing. That being said, with Fire and Lesser floating around, we would be able to go either way a little farther down the line - BlkEL or BEL. I want a pure white snake which the Super Fire typically isn't. Here's the question, anyone know if the Lesser gene thrown into a Super Fire would wash the last of the color out, similar to how Lesser wipes out a pied?

Personlly id suggest getting a Mojave if you want a BEL... Simple because i think the Lesser x Mojave make the whitest bell (or Russo x Russo) But with Mojave x Mojave you get the dirty BEL and Lesser x Lesser sometimes gives goldy lines or Bug eyes!


And no because they are not the same "family" of co-dom youd get fires/lessers kinda of deal. Just get yourself a second snake =) if you want BEL!

I've read a lot about the unfortunate bug eye issue. The father of my girl is a Super Lesser and he's perfect! Thought maybe mine might have a better chance since her Dad is not deformed. I don't have anything to base that on though.

I know that Lesser x Fire doesn't make BEL. What I meant was something like a Lesser Fire x Fire and hitting Super on the Fire and also passing the Lesser to that baby. Seems that most Lesser Pied's I see are all white. I know Pied's are totally different animal but was just wondering if it had the same effect on Super Fire.
