Help a newbie out pretty please!

I'm right there with you. I love lessers but want one that will stay light that's why I chose to get a pastel lesser instead. All of them stay light!

I can offer a little help.

Look for a fairly light baby to start with. You want one with good contrast between the alien heads and the body. If it has heavy blushing, so much the better. One key is the alien heads themselves. The lighter the color of the alien heads, generally the lighter the snake will be as an adult.

He are pictures of my husbands lesser as a baby, and at around 800 grams.

Can you see how his baby colors translate into his adult ?

I also like the clean pattern lessers, here's a few pics on a few I have. I breed 2 females that have no dots at all this year. but they were breed to my male clown. good luck in finding the one that catches your eye! don

thanks for looking, hope you liked the pics, don

Ok, here is my butter 4 months ago. I will try to post a pic in the morning of her now. I don't have a ton of pics of her, as she does have a bit of an attitude, lol

So many beautiful snakes! Thank you all so much! Gale, thank you for the tips! I see what you mean about the alien head coloration. Don, that female ovulating is exactly what I'm looking for! She is gorgeous! I would love tto get a pastel lesser, but my current plan is a female lesser, then in a year a male pastel lesser or enchi lesser. Want to start with a single gene girl. (Also don't want to sticker shock my hubby first off lol) drdoolittle, can't wait to see your butter in the am! You all have been so helpful :D

Sorry for the delay. She had to eat and wasn't being very photogenic , but here she is with a crappy cell pic.
