Identifying Butters and Lessers

Thanks....I forget sometimes there isn't a "ruling body" for snake morph names lol
Seems like they should get it figured out which name everyone likes and just stick with one :P

Another instance of this is Green Pastel & Lace Black Back.

I forget how the story goes but one guy had it and never named it then he sold the babies to somebody else who decided to name it and named it Lace Black Back. I think Amir is the one who went with Green Pastel. So Amir sells them as Green Pastels but Lace Black Back & Green Pastels are one in the same.

Its a similar story for coral glows and bananas. Same gene, named by two competing breeders.

Weren't they even called "White smokes" at one time or another? I think I saw one labled as that on VPI.

Same genetic mutation, but a different blood line.

Both have the same gender 'issues'.

Gender issues? Wha? Did I miss something?

I think CG/Banana is a sex linked morph? Kind of similar to a calico cat where as most calicos come out female, most CGs/Bananas come out male.

Does anybody have a picture of a butter and a lesser side by side if would love yo see if there's any difference in them

Similar, but I don't think that's what's going on. Calicos are all female unless a male inherits an extra X chromosome. CG/banana are way more wacky. There are tons of threads out there on the topic though, don't want to derail OP's thread :)
