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.

I believe her parents were a Pastel and Lesser, but it's definitely good to know she has the BEL gene and can produce with the right male

Blue Eye Leucistic is popular from the following

Lesser (Butter is the exact same thing)
Mojave
Russo
Bamboo
Honey
Phantom
Mocha
Mystic

i would suggest getting a male Mojave or Phantom/Lesser if u wanna make BEL's with her. u won't have the buggy eyes from Super Lesser's/Super Butter's, plus it adds variety since u will have another snake and make ones that look different from a Butter/Lesser.

it's probably b/c you're using Crapatalk... err i mean Tapatalk.

photobucket!

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.

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!!

Totally gorgeous !

One of the prettiest snakes I've EVER seen ..

Hi! Congrats. I don't think anyone had mentioned it or I read over the post, but good job with the newspaper as "plate" I do it with all my young snakes!

lesser vs butter. it's believed to be the same gene that comes from two different wild caught specimen. Lessers all come from "Platty Daddy" from the Ralph Davis line and I can't remember the specimen that butters descend from.

I actually just heard back from my breeder, mom was a Butter Pastel, dad a Lesser which is where I got confused and combined them all haha

haha thank you!! I do want to switch her to a coconut husk for humidity/mold precautions, but the kit I bought had a whole bag of Zoo Med aspen and I didn't want to waste it, so I compromised
