Lesser question

so.. after doing a bit of searching and researching.. I am thinking of getting a female lesser. I saw a few ads on Kingsnake that have me wondering what to do... so now my question is:

What exactly do I look for in a lesser? is there anything specific to look for? are there low grade lessers like in pastels?

I know that basically it comes down to personal preference, but I need a starting point to help me choose. Thanx everyone.

Well, since I am a reduced pattern nut, I would want one that is completely reduced pattern, light colored and tons of blushing. I can't say that I've ever seen an ugly lesser, like you do with pastels. But I have seen examples of lessers that make me go WOW!

thanx Robin. yeah I'm a reduced pattern girl myself (and this cannot be used in the out of context thread :P so there!!), but I was just curious as to what to really really look for. Just keep my eyes open and learn as I decide. thanx again. :D

The more contrast, the better IMO :D

...what about increased pattern, darker, less blushing; :)~

I like the really high white and blushing coming up the side from the belly.
Basically, when it looks closer to a Platinum the better for me.

thanx for the opinions... all things I can look for while I find "that" one. :D wonder if I could find one that is reduced pattern with high contrast, lots of blushing and flames.. think thats asking too much. :lmao: one can dream and hope I guess. the search goes on.

Look for something with alot of color. To me nothing is worse than a ugly brown/grey adult lesser. Contact Kat, http://www.centralvalleypythons.com/index.html

To see if she has any hatching soon.

Heres my now adult lesser from her

nice looking lesser.. yeah I was checking out kats website.. liked what I saw, so that was definitely on the top of my list to check out.

Look for one that was produced by Adam at 8 Ball Pythons. He told me he's going to have quite a few Lesser clutchs this season, and his Lessers are some of the best in the hobby.
