    Question Lesser, Butter, or Something Else?

    Hello,
    I'm planning on getting this snake from a local pet store, but the people don't know the morph, and he/she's classified as a "mixed fancy ball python," which doesn't really tell me much. When I saw it, it looked to me like a butter or a lesser, and the guy selling it said he thought it was a banana (which I don't really see, to be honest). If anyone has an idea, I'd love to hear it!
    Here are the pictures I took:


    Also, the price of this guy was $150 (US dollars), and on sale for $100. Butters and lessers are typically under $100, and bananas are usually around $150. Of course, those prices may mean nothing when the store doesn't actually know the morph

    photos aren't loading for me on Tapatalk.

    and just so you know: Butter and Lesser are the same gene, but they started off as different lines.

    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    Yep pics dont open but butter and lesser are the same and banana would be easily identified. Id check when your local expo is so you dont over pay for a single gene animal from someone that doesnt even know what theyre selling.
