Regardless if it’s butter or lesser, it still has the same breeding potential. If you breed her to a lesser or a butter you will get bels. You can also get bels breeding her to mojave or a bel of any combo of the three.

I believe her parents were a Pastel and Lesser, but it's definitely good to know she has the BEL gene and can produce with the right male :)

Blue Eye Leucistic is popular from the following

Lesser (Butter is the exact same thing)
Mojave
Russo
Bamboo
Honey
Phantom
Mocha
Mystic

i would suggest getting a male Mojave or Phantom/Lesser if u wanna make BEL's with her. u won't have the buggy eyes from Super Lesser's/Super Butter's, plus it adds variety since u will have another snake and make ones that look different from a Butter/Lesser. :gj:

Hi! Congrats. I don't think anyone had mentioned it or I read over the post, but good job with the newspaper as "plate" :) I do it with all my young snakes!

lesser vs butter. it's believed to be the same gene that comes from two different wild caught specimen. Lessers all come from "Platty Daddy" from the Ralph Davis line and I can't remember the specimen that butters descend from.

I actually just heard back from my breeder, mom was a Butter Pastel, dad a Lesser which is where I got confused and combined them all haha :)

haha thank you!! I do want to switch her to a coconut husk for humidity/mold precautions, but the kit I bought had a whole bag of Zoo Med aspen and I didn't want to waste it, so I compromised :)
