First BP!! Meet Kova!!

Hi everyone! I am new to the BP community and just bought my first ball New Years Day :) Her name is Kova and she is a healthy little Butter Pastel Lesser, about 6 months old :) She measures 27 3/4in and weighed in at 299g (given she ate a weaned rat 2 days ago and hasn't pooped) once she's empty I'll update the post :) for now, enjoy some pictures of my sweet girl!!

very nice and congrats! welcome to the forum! we're here to help and share pix. :gj:

also Kova is either a Butter Pastel or Lesser Pastel. she cannot be both a Butter and Lesser Pastel, otherwise she would be a completely white snake w/ blue eyes. :)

thanks for the clarifcation(: I bought her as a Pastel Lesser, but the breeder mentioned butter while we were talking at the house which confused me lol, I'm still waiting for 100% confirmation what her parents were. But if I understand correctly she carries the butter and BEL gene. the whole genetics thing is a lot to understand, I'm trying it is surely fascinating lol, but it's good to know if I breed her to the right boy I can get a BEL :D

Welcome! What a gorgeous girl!

Welcome to the forum!! You've come to a great place to learn!!

Beautiful choice for a first BP!

Oh my gosh that is such a cute little baby!!! She looks exactly like what I want to get ;-;

I can't wait to see her progress!

Butter and lesser are thought to be the same morph that just originated from different sources hence the name difference. Most people prefer to keep the name of the parent snake. If the parent was a lesser butter bel, then it will be impossible to ever know which line you have and maybe why there was confusion with the name in the first place. Regardless if it’s butter or lesser, it still has the same breeding potential. If you breed her to a lesser or a butter you will get bels. You can also get bels breeding her to mojave or a bel of any combo of the three.

What a beautiful babe😊 congratulations and best wish can not wait to see her fabulous face more around here😉

gorgeous girl. :gj: and welcome to the forum!!!
