BEL combination help? (with poll)

Hey Guys,

So I threw this question out earlier to everyone but I thought I would put up a poll because they are fun. LOL

So from a breeding standpoint.. what combination would make:

a) a better looking snake, and/or
b) be better for future breeding plans.

Cheers :)

I've heard that mojave x mojave, lesser x lesser and butter x butter make cleaner BEL's, weather that's true or not I'm not sure. I have a male lesser and female mojo and butter :)

a) a better looking snake, and/or

Lesser/Butter x Lesser/Butter is as white as it gets

b) be better for future breeding plans.

Depends on your plans, personally I want nothing to do with mojave so I'm just sticking with Butter/Lesser

also note most of us see lesser and butter as the exact same morph and you only allow one option so i voted lesser/lesser.

Im wanting a super mojave for my jigsaw project. But I dont really like the "dirty" head of em

Thought this old thread linked below might help a little with the bug eye questions.

Just curious but why the dislike for Mojo's?

From what I gather the Mojos make dirtier suppers. Its too bad, genetically I would like to have the mojo X Lesser pairing but I don't like the yellow they have on them. :(.

Reads like he just doesn't like Mojo's in general, not just for a BEL breeding. I was just curious.

Mojo's don't really do much for me either, although I love the Mojo x Lesser BEL's.

Ironically, I have a Lesser x Butter BEL. Poor planning on my part. :D

He's pretty cool looking...about as white as it gets...

As far as Mojo BEL's...most people consider the grey head as a negative, but that's actually what I like about them...

because IMO lesser/butter just looks better, even in combos.

I like them all. But there is no option for that.

For me a super Mojave is more valuable as a breeder than a mojo x lesser and even a lesser x lesser. I guess it all depends on what projects you are working with, but all of my BEL complex animals will be bred to Specials and special combos from here on out.

I really love super Mojaves. That purple head is just so unique and beautiful.

However! I would breed for Butter/Mojave or Lesser/Mojave because I like having more than one gene in my snakes. :P
