    What makes a Lesser Plat?

    Hey folks. I would like to know what a platinum, lesser plat, and Axanthic look like in compairison to each other. What does it take to get a plat? Are they all lesser Plt or is there a thing as just a plat? This is still all teribly new to me. Heck wehn I bought my snake I think I paid around 20 for her and now some of these guys are going to 25,000 that just blows my mind. I guess its worth it to have an awsomely beautiful snake, but WOW. Oneday Oneday maybe. When I hit the lotery or things go like I hope. Thanks for any info.

    Re: What makes a Lesser Plat?

    A Lesser Platty is a whole different morph. Look at RDR's website.. he's got the whole story of the first "Platty Daddy"....

    Lesser to Lesser produces a pure white snake with blue eyes too.... there are other combos which also create white snakes, but none are quite as "clean" looking than the lesser x lesser lucy's.

    We'll have to wait and see until later on this year to see if the prices for Lessers come down a little bit....... There are a few more of them out in the breeding world now, and being that they're co-dom's, the speed at which other breeders are producing them will likely bring the price down a tad from the $25k area.

    I'm SOOOO looking forward to hatchling season this year!! Almost can't wait!

    Hurumph... I just sent it to him in PM cause I thought we weren't allowed to post pics/links of other people's sites that don't endorse this site. I guess I could have just posted it here.

    Re: What makes a Lesser Plat?

    For site's like Ralph Davis and Nerd, that are big breeders, it's ok. There's a wealth of knowledge on those sites. We also do a lot of links to genetics for there too. Some of the other sites that have little value otherwise we stay away from. It's such a touchy subject that maybe we need to clarify this issue a bit.

    It's always best to err on the side of caution though. Of course, I could have just sent the link that way too. Did I mention it's been a LONG day.

    Re: What makes a Lesser Plat?

    I appreciate the link...I find RDR's site hard to navigate sometimes. Very interesting genetics with the Platty Daddy. Platties and lessers are so pretty...

    Re: What makes a Lesser Plat?

    I have to agree. I like the Axanthic with the black white and silver look. I bet the white snake with blue eyes would be to die for. Only ins a dream would I be lucky enough to own one of those babies. Unless I were to breed one myself way down the road. Another dream to aspire to I guess Thanks everyone for the info. Now I have some more reading material for work and when I am bored.
