Lesser and Pewter

[bimmer28]

I was told I have a Lesser and a Pewter. However I am having a hard time deciphering which is which.

I looked up pics of both and am having a hard time telling the difference and spent atleast 2 hours comparing. Maybe if someone that can identify explain how they did so I can learn. I thought of looking up cinnamon and pastel and tried looking for similarities there like the keyhole etc but then I find a difference in the other snake and convince myself it could be this one.

I also think since one of them is in shed it has made it harder on me as well.

now I believe the top one to be the Pewter and the Bottom to be the lesser

[Dave Green]

The top one is the lesser and the bottom one is the pewter.

[aalomon]

Agreed. Top lesser and bottom pewter.

I will third their statements. Case closed.

[bimmer28]

But how did you guys figure that out? So i know for future

[Dave Green]

They really look very different, I don't think they look similar at all. Lessers are more of a brown/tan and pewters are more grey.

I saw this lesser on WoBP and got confused

If you look at color rather than pattern you'll have less trouble.

Yep, lesser on top. Wouldn't be my choice to breed unless he is in shed or you just take bad photos.
