    Question Lessers and... make for... ?

    I know it's vague. However. I am looking into possibly getting my first ball pythons in the coming months. My favourite morph at the moment are lessers. There's just something about them that I really really like. I've also seen some of the morphs that can result from breeding them.

    I did see that lesser bees and queen bees are possible from lesser breedings. However, I'm not the biggest fan of spiders. (Maybe if I find the right one?) I do however like a nice pastel, but it has to really glow to catch my eye.

    At the end of the day I was just wondering what some other interesting breeding projects are that can involve lessers? I know sky's probably the limit, but c'mon... help a newb out.

    I'm more attracted to lighter coloured, bright morhs, opposed to the darker ones, if that helps.

    Thanks for any help!

    My favorites are Kingpin (Pin X Lesser), Lesser Hypo, Black Pastel Lesser, Pewter Lesser, and Pastel Lesser.

    well if you like bright white, get two lessers and make yourself some Blue Eye Lucys!! That is ofcourse if you happen to have about $1200 bucks laying around to get 2 lessers.

    Re: Lessers and... make for... ?

    I agree with Deborah on the kingpin, it's the reason I got my lesser and pinstripe in the first place. But I also really want to make some blue eyed leucistics some day. I think that lessers make the brightest of the white snakes.

    I don't really like the bright bright white, or patternless white, actually. I've seen the blue eyed lucies. They look a bit odd, heh. I'm also not a fan of piebalds with more than 50% white, for example. I don't know what it is... But hey, I am a sucker for blue eyes so you never know.

    What are the chances of breeding out blue-eyed lucies from a lesser x lesser pairing?

    And is there anyone who has done a lesser x bumble bee? Is that NERD's queen bee?

    I think that lesser X lesser will give you %25 chance at a BEL.

    You can also get a female mojave, which would be a bit cheaper, but would allow you to make clean leucies as well.

    yeah, mojos would be a little bit cheaper route to a BEL but i think they are trying to work with lessers.

    I'm not trying to make BELs... so... LOL.

    I don't want to work with ONLY lessers. I'd just like to have one and was wondering what would go nice with it.
