lets discuss butters

I just bought a male butter and I don't hear a lot of discussion or of people who own them. So lets see pictures and tell me wwhat you've br ed with them

The same thing you would breed a lesser to :)

:O butters and lessers are the same??? ;)

I have a butter, a friend of mine has a lesser that is 1 year older. I still don't believe that they are the same morph. After comparing pictures of his and mine when we first got them, and now, the lesser DEFINATELY got darker, while my butter is slightly lighter now than it was 6 months ago.
VERY similar morphs, yes; exactly the same morph, I don't think so.
Anyway, I've not bred mine yet, and he bred his to a pastel. When she's big enough, I'm thinking pastel, pinstripe, or cinnamon, or maybe all 3!

Their the same mutation after a couple years of breeding your Butter to different looking normals or other mutations you will see the evidence yourself. Their the same.:gj:

I still believe butters and lessers are diff.
Here's my butter.
Keeps getting brighter after each shed.

Ah! So what your saying is... I breed my butter male to my Mojave next year and watch for little white thing?! :)

i would say that butters are lessers that just have a lil different variant that people want to put a different name on i know that big name breeders such as Ralph Davis have butters and lessers but honestly if i had to decide if one was lesser one was butter i would go by brightness and lack of circles in the alien heads then again i have only been addicted to this website for a year so i could be wrong

We thought the same thing being the first BEL's we've produced.
I guess the blue eyes show better after first shed.
This clutch is at my partners house ATM so I don't have any updated pics showing those pretty blue eyes.
