Which one is better?

I was wondering what would make a better blue eyed snake, a butter to mojave or a lesser to mojave? Thanks!!

I very much doubt you'd be able to tell the difference since butters and lessors, at least as far as I’m concerned are the same morph.

The leucistics that you would get from either pairing would be very similar, if not impossible to differenciate between the two because of how similar butters and lessers are.

IMO anything with Mojave in it will make a "dirty" leucistic, with the colored head and a certain amount of dorsal striping. Depends on if you like that on your leucys or not, I personally don't.

Yep, just like cinny's and black pastels are the same :D

OP: "Better" is all about preference and what you like, not what others opinions are.
I personally love dirty BEL's(even though we just made perfectly white ones, lol) just like I love the dirty Ivories.

First, a lesser/butter to mojave BEL is not "dirty" in any way. Only a super mojave is "dirty". Research.
As for which is better; lesser or butter for a BEL? They're the same morph, just marketed differently, so either one.

"Better" is a matter of opinion. Do you consider the whitest snake with the bluest eyes the best? Some do, some don't. In my opinion though, while you can get a pure white snake using other combos, the bluest clear blue eyes I've ever seen are on the white diamond and you can only make that using Russo's.

I believe they're more or less the same morph. So as has been said, they'd look the same.

they're not the same. as far as the lucy that's produced by either the results are the same. i say they are not the same by what they do to other morphs. look at lesser spiders vs. butter spiders. totally diff look to each.
and black pastels and cinnies ARE not the same. when viewing them in person their are huge differences in appearance.

i can't believe i didn't see it before :rolleyes:LOL

Lessers can vary in colour, brightness and pattern as well as a 'butter'. So yes, of course some 'butters' look different from some lessers.
