    What to breed to a Lesser Platinum

    I'm getting a Lesser Platinum male next week and now my boyfriend is interested in getting a ball We'd like to start breeding them in a couple of years (don't want to start anytime soon, I want to make sure I fully understand BP's first). So my question is, what would be a good female to get? I know another lesser or butter will make a BEL, what other combos could we get?
    1.0 Lesser BP "Buster"
    0.1 Pastel BP "Lucille"
    0.1 Mojave BP "Maeby"
    0.1 Normal (Possible morph) BP "Lindsay"
    0.1 Pied BP "Jezebel"
    0.1 Common Collared Lizard "Reptar"
    0.1 New Mexico Fancy Collared Lizard "Duchess"
    1.0 New Mexico Fancy Collared Lizard "Sterling"
    1.0 Snow Leopard Gecko "Leo"
    0.0.1 Hermann's tortoise "Sheldon"
    3 spoiled dogs, 1 red devil midas, 4 fiddler crabs

    I'd get a pinstripe, or a pastel pinstripe. King pins (lesser pin) or pastel king pins are stunners!

    Re: What to breed to a Lesser Platinum

    Hi,

    I'd have to say my faves so far ( aside from BEL's ) would be clown or black pastel or spinner.

    They just float my boat the most in combo with the lesser gene.

    7 adult Royals (2.5), 1.0 COS Pastel, 1.0 Enchi, 1.1 Lesser platty Royal python, 1.1 Black pastel Royal python, 0.1 Blue eyed leucistic ( Super lesser), 0.1 Piebald Royal python, 1.0 Sinaloan milk snake 1.0 crested gecko and 1 bad case of ETS. no wife, no surprise.

    All of the above suggestions are great.

    I personally want to work super pastel into every single combo I produce in the years to come, so I'd vote pastel or a pastel combo.

    you have a 1:8 chance of:

    normal
    pastel
    spider
    bee
    lesser
    pastellesser
    lesserbee
    queenbee

    I'm personally a sucker for BEL's, but this would be my second choice! You really can't go wrong with the Lesser gene!
