Funky Little Lesser Girl

My lesser male did the exact same thing. Started out looking like a bright Mohave, got brighter with age, and now looks just like yours. Almost neon yellow with tons of blushing.

Yep. I actually double checked today since you asked lol. Absolutely no markings on his belly and the sides are very faded like yours. I actually had someone trying to tell me he was a mojo because he was so dark when he hatched. I'm actually beginning to wonder if it has something to do with the difference between butter and lesser... Maybe, just maybe, butters are the ones that lighten up drastically like that with all that blushing and buttery yellow but lessers do not. if that's the case, there may actually be a difference in those genes. One being a lightening and fading gene, while the other remains more golden looking. That would mean there are a lot of lessers being called butters and vice versa. Hmmm, something to ponder huh? I've worked with both and my leucy who was sold to me as a lesser leucy, produces "lessers" that look just like my butter and do the same lightening up as they age.

I'm one of the ones that believes there is a difference and more breeders need to catalog which snakes do what as they age and compare photos of many from hatch to 1 year of age.

By the way, that little snake you have there is gorgeous!
