it's probably b/c you're using Crapatalk... err i mean Tapatalk. ;)
Photobucket is also crap unless u have a paid subscription that allows u to host your pix on other websites like forums and stuff. glad to see the beautiful pix of your new baby BP tho. :)
photobucket is total garbage haha nothing like it used to be with all the ads and nonsene, but I was eager to get pics of my girl up for everyone to see so I did what I knew how to lol

Aspen is really good. Easy to clean. When they're older they're less prone to swallowing any substrate. It doesn't matter then as well. Snakes in the wild just spit it out anyway. It's what a snake does!

Yeah, that makes sense and is why the breeder wasn’t clear if yours is a butter or a lesser because there is no way to tell. It’s definitely not both or she’d be an all white snake. So this just means you’ll never know which line of butter/lesser she came from. It changes nothing in her breeding potential, but just makes it a little confusing what to call her and then her offspring. My opinion would just be honest and tell people that she is butter or lesser especially when selling offspring so at least you don’t mislead anyone that is looking to get a snake from one or the other specific lines.
Regardless of all that, she’s gorgeous! Congrats ;)

No, she is definitely pastel. It’s the butter or lesser you’ll never know because they are the same but she is definitely one. So she is either pastel butter or pastel lesser. The reason you'll never know which is because she could of got either one depending on which parent she inherited it from. The breeder just chose to go with pastel lesser to keep from confusing you and that’s fine if you want to just stick with that. If you breed her you should probably let potential buyers know she could be butter or lesser though.
