Pastel Lessers

Okay, the expo isn't here till may, but I am hoping to find a pastel lesser female. I don't have much experience I guess, and am wondering what I should look for in a quality pastel lesser?

Those who have them, can you post pics :p

In my opinion, find one that is as clean as possible and is bright and yellow. Here is my girl at around 600 grams.

beautiful:)

How much does a pastel lesser of good quality go for? Obviously it'll probably be a bit more here, but I need to save haha. I got to save up for other stuff too. Like rats.

But wow. They're pretty hot.

I love that head blushing :D

It depends. If you're a bargain hunter like Tiffany (RoseyReps), you stumble upon amazing examples for much less than the going rate. :P

For the rest of us mere mortals, I'd say around $600ish for a nice female with a bit of size at this point in time.

Dr D, Melman is awesome! His contrast is super and it looks like someone took an eraser to his head... so cool! :D

Well I'm hoping for a 2013 baby :p shows not till may

Things *I* look for:
Pattern - I prefer very reduced (little to no spots in alien heads) BUT a nice busy is just as stunning! This part really comes down to personal preferance.

Color - yellow yellow and more yellow! Bright clean yellow! I don't really like the creamy browns, I want my pastel lesser to scream PASTEL LESSER not whisper pastel? lesser.

Blushing and contrast - always look for that bright blushed out head! Blushing along the dorsal is also great. Blushing outlined in dark browns/blacks? Even better!

Ok, here's my girl! Pics in the sun show her blushing best, pics in the light tent show off her colors best.

(I paid $375 for her, but that is a pretty low price even here in the states)


Day of pick up 89g (sun)

Witch magic. The answer is witch magic, tim. All women have it, not all know how to use it.

I think lesser pastels are an awesome morph bobba. Dont settle though, be sure to find a HOT one!

I'm not even a bargain hunter lol I don't know how it keeps happening! I see a snake that makes me go wow, then throw my money at them. Afterwards, I tell people, and they're like omg haxx how did you get it so cheap?! Uber haggle skill!

I've never haggled in my life...I just ask the price and say okay. :D

Ball python morphs: the only thing I've ever been good at! Finally! Haha

I paid $495 shipped.

WTFUNKYWAFFLES??? Pastel lessers do NOT go for 375!!! No! No! Just no!

I was lucky enough to make my own female last season :snake:

I paid 450 shipped for mine of ks. It took a while to find one that I thought popped. I looked for lots of blushing and high yellow. She was 105g when I got her. I can't figure out how to post pics but she's in my Avatar"?" To the left

Seriously, it's frightening to think about. I'm half expecting her to post a photo of a male banana clown that she bought off Craig's List for $50 in a few weeks. :8:

like jerry mine was free here's a pic of the blonde pastel lesser that I produced. his sister I also kept and she looks just like him ( bright, blushed and no dots ). I suck taking pics and his pic came out better than hers. good luck in picking one out, don

Here are a few of my pastel lesssers:

First up is a Lemon Pastel Lesser I got from Carl Aiken who took this photo and kindly gave me permission to post it:
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/j...psed4a09d1.jpg
And, here she is after growing up a bit (this is my photo and it isn't so good):
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps8dddd861.jpg
I'm going to cheat and show a pastel lesser combo, because this is one of her babies this year from her first clutch ever, mated with a Blonde Pastel Calico:
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/j...i/IMG_8507.jpg

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/j...psec42312b.jpg

I just love pastel lessers and the combos they make.

Randy at Ball python world in Edmonton picked up a male super pastel lesser spider het ghost a couple weeks ago so I bet he'll have some in no time :) My orange ghost is from him. Very nice people to deal with and of course very nice animals too :)

My Pastel Butter female, Paula Deen. Butter/lesser...same or not, here's my girl. There are some haaaaawt! snakes on here and the variations in patterns and colors are just a few of the reasons I love this combo!

Thanks! My wife is a fan of her (the person, not so much the snake, lol!) and with the butter it was a no-brainer, lol! I might have to add some butter to her rat pups or ASF's if she keeps her present strike up...she sure doesn't take after her namesake, lol!

LOL that is the best name EVER

Thanks! She's a bit of a diva when it comes to eating but she's one of my favorites nonetheless.

Paula Dean!! Amazing name for a butter. I love that show, although I did get mildly nauseous about the fried cheesecake.

Thought I`ll post mine up too, called her Luna.
First pic was just when I got her and second the more updated one. She is a pain to get photos off, don't keep still for 1 sec.
