What will a Butter X Lesser Cross Make?

I was told by someone that you can't get a blue eyed leusistic crossing these two morphs even though they both carry the gene. Is that true? Thanks in advance.

OMG - I TOTALLY mis-read that!!! You CAN get a BEL! I'm sorry! I thought it said "I was told that you can get a BEL."

I'm pretty sure you get a BEL by crossing any of the two that carry the gene: mojo/lesser lesser/butter butter/mojo. I'm sure there are others too, I'm just not really good with genetics yet :p

Yep - and you can do all with each other, but the super mojave has a grey head. And you can also mix in Russos. So - Russos, butter, lesser, and mojave.

Are you guys positive before I go out and buy a butter? :P

I think the ones with the super mojos are awful cute, but not everyone likes a dirty BEL.


Edit* Yes I'm positive!

Lol. You can certainly google it and get the same results. I really did mis-read what you wrote.

Another cool fact is a lesser/butter BEL will produce all lessers and butters when bred to a normal.

You would get

25% Lesser
25% Butter
25% BEL
25% Normal

some people with argue, but after seeing all the combos, i think butter and lesser are just different lines of the same morph. their about as different as a pastel line vs another pastel line.

Hi,

Breeding a lesser to a butter can posolutely absatively produce a BEL. :yes: :gj:

Yes you can get a Blue Eyed Leucistic by crossing a butter with a lesser, in fact there are quite a few of us who think that butters and Lessers are the exact same morph. The only difference being who produced it.
