Are "Platty Sibling" around

I was hoping to find out more about who has the lessers and if there are any platty sibs becoming available or are they still being horded by the elite:)

Lessers are available throughout the community, check kingsnake.com or faunaclassifieds.com, there's a bunch available.

Ya i have seen the lessers around but i am more interested in the siblings at this piont. Should be able to find a nice lesser when the time is right. But a Platty sibbling or 2 would be nice if i decide to start into this morph

Not at all trying to be rude but..... I would suggest getting the 3 you already have living in the same enclosure seperated and in proper living arrangements before you look to add anything else to your collection.

First, I didnt realize you were the guy with the 3 snakes/1 tank. iCandi is right, separate and provide separate enclosures for all.

Second, wtf is a platty sibling? You want a normal that came from a clutch of lesser's or what? A normal from a clutch of lessers won't do anything for you morphwise, lesser is a co-dom trait and if it's not visual it's not carrying it.

I believe that he wants one of the true platties produced by breeding a lesser back to the platty daddy.

Did Ralph ever produce the original Platty? I was just reading about it today and I still dont know, as far as I know the only Platinum in existence is still there and still not reproduced.

A platty sibling is the second half of what you need to recreate the platty daddy. When bred to a normal, the platty daddy produces lesser platinums and normal looking siblings that carry a hidden gene. Breed one of those hidden gene siblings to a lesser and you have a chance at producing a platty daddy.

As far as the availability of them, your best bet would be to get them straight from Ralph Davis. I think someone produced a platty daddy last year on accident, but other than that I haven't heard or seen anything about more being produced.

Nice. Thank you!

As far as I know, Ralph's line of Lessers is the only line capable of making Platty's.

There are Platinums produced in Germany last year and this year.

@ pavlovk1025:

Ralph has reproduced a lot of Platinums, just take a look at his birthing records on his website.

Greets...

So a platty is different from a lesser? Huh.. I thought they were the same lol

Nope, any lesser or butter can make a platty but they are only half of what you need. To reproduce a platty you need one of the normal looking sibs from a platty clutch. I THINK Ralph has been selling normal sibs now so you will probably start seeing a bunch of platty's being produced in the next year or two.

RDR has produced platinums, they have the same light color, but lack the side pattern of platty daddy. He also produced a butter daddy from a butter male to platty sib female.

From what I understand, any lesser or butter can be used. Similar to how the crystal ball genes work. I've been really curious for a couple years now to see what happens if you breed the "special" gene from the crystal to a lesser.

From what I've been told Crystals ARE the "Special" gene carriers, so breeding a Crystal to a Lesser gives you a Platty Daddy.

Who's Ralph?

Has is it actually been done or is it still just theory at this point?

Not sure I've always been told that the "Mojave Daddy" is really the Crystal Mojave.

Didn't BHB produce a Lesser version of the Crystal from what was thought to be a Special to a Lesser?

I think Hidden will be different than Special. One will make the Crystal combo with Mojave (or Lesser apparently) and the other will make the Platy combo with Lesser (maybe Mojave too?).
