Which Butter is Better?

I'd also urge you, if you haven't already, to ask the breeder things like what they're feeding on and how often, what the parents were, how they're being housed, etc. That information is much more valuable than what a bunch of randoms on a forum interpret as "quality"...

Thank you. I already have an email out asking that info just waiting for a response. It's a very good point. I ask about quality only because I'm still learning about all the morphs and what's a "good example" (above average). Yes it may be just "randoms" but they may have more experience with morphs then I do! Which is why I always ask, so that I can learn from others. With that being said the health of any animal I buy is extremely important, which is why I appreciated your post.

It all comes down to what you personally prefer in a morph. Myself, I would take number one. I love the clean pattern of that girl, and her colors are nice. In the end, pick the one that stands out to you. There's nothing wrong with any of those girls, all nice average representations of the morph.

Thanks. So out of curiosity what would be an above average example?

Of the three, I like #1 the best!

One of the things I think you should keep in mind is what you plan on pairing up. For example...If had a Spider and I was shopping for a Butter, I'd probably take #1 because I like the reduced pattern and think it would compliment the Spider gene. If I had a Pinstripe, for example, I'd probably go with #2 for the more random pattern, which I think would work really well with the Pinstripe gene. They're both "quality" Butters, but they each have different potential...

Now that I think about it, I really don't see too many Butters/Lessers that I'd consider low quality...I guess I'm just a sucker for 'em...:D

Thanks. You have been really helpful and so has everyone. I'm not really sure what I want to do with her yet, but I agree I'm sucker for the butter/lesser gene and haven't really seen a combo with the gene I haven't liked.
