    Mojave VS Lesser VS Butter
    Sometimes I have a hard time telling the differences between these morphs. Is there certain things that you look at to tell which is which?

    generally mojaves are darker, google "mojave ball python" and "lesser ball python" you can see the difference is pretty obvious. There are a few animals that are difficult to tell, but for the most part... not at all.

    Lesser and Butter are the same morph. Like Lemon Pastels and Bell Pastels.

    Wait if butters and lessers are the same morph then what's the diff? I'm confused.

    The difference is the lessers came from the platinum RDR imported and the butter got imported from somewhere else. Just like every line of pastel you see out there, they all got imported at different times, doesn't make them different morphs

    They are essentially different "lines" of the same morph.


    They are on the same locus too I believe?
