Check out this interesting clutch!

I would like to think that the mom is a YB and Daddy is Lessorbelly.
I would also like to think that Mom is a new morph that when bred to the Blue eyed complex (Lessor,Butter,Mojo) produces an animal similar to an Ivory.

Either way that is an awsome surprise to have.

My other thought since he stated it is not multiple males, and I believe it was mentioned above would be retained sperm. Do you know she was in fact a virgin, just asking not accusing.

I had the snake about a year and did not attempt breeding last year as she was not of size-would have to doubt sperm retention.

Anyone have some pics of lesser x yellowbellys? Would love to hear from anyone else who has produced clutches from lesser x yellowbellys.

Wow that is quite a clutch!
My guess is also a lesser belly to yellowbelly but the idea of another unknown genetic possibility is very interesting.

Congrats and welcome Ben

Ben,
Let me tell you, thats snakes verry bad for your collection. I will pay the shipping charges and waive my typical fee's to Adopt a snake. I will take really really good care of him/her :p.

Seriously, I'm very interested in this. Congrats.....I'm really curious to see if your onto something.

Scott @ CvExotics has a lesser yellow belly male. So, they are around. Who knows how that white snake popped up.

we will see. If anybody knows of anyone who has bred yellowbelly x lesser, and the results, that would be much appreciated.

Ben - Hope these pics help solve the puzzle. Butter Belly was produced(Oct. 08) by my Butter breeder male paired with a BRIGHT/FLASHY Y.B.. I am am one who believes the Butter and Lesser are different -- yet similar morphs. The Lesser Belly could not be too much different than my guy I would think?

The breeding pic shows him trying to figure out "what goes where"?? He has not bred yet -- but will have the summer to figure it out.

What is the history on the male --pics?? Did he come from Amir? Based on the pics and current info, I would agree on the "little white guy" being an Ivory -- FUN STUFF!!!!

Love the head pattern on this butter belly! Thanks for sharing

There is a picture of a hatchling lesser goblin (RDR's line of yellow belly) in 2006 clutch 36 at http://ralphdavisreptiles.com/birthi...thons_4_06.asp

thanks for the link randy--will just have to let them shed and see what they look like. I think I have 3 lesserbellys and one lesser--

Im not complaining.

Would still like to hear of any other lesser x yellowbelly clutches---
