Wanting to learn more about hypo lessers.

[Silvermastic]

So we recently purchased a Hypo Lesser. Wanted to learn more about them but not really finding much info. From what I gather on World of Ball Pythons they are also called Ghost Lesser. But even looking up that doesn't seem to give me much info. Is there something else I should be looking up? Mainly wanting to learn the who first produced them, what went into to produce them, etc. Any and all info anyone could give me would be great, or at least point me in the right direction. Sorry for sounding like a noob just haven't followed the morphs adventure for many years. Thanks!

Never mind, didn't realize how stupid it sounded till after I posted. If someone could delete post please do. Thanks!

I don't think these questions are stupid! It's refreshing to get other discussions besides the typical "what should I pair with.." (which are totally fine too).

AFAIK, NERD produced/discovered the hypo and Ralph Davis produced/discovered the lesser (Found that info on the World of Pythons app) but I'm not sure who produced the combo. There are different lines of both as well, so the answer may change if you take into account hypo vs. orange ghost and lesser vs. butter.

Luckily for us, some of the big breeders read these forums, and someone may be able to give you a better answer.

its a difficult question, because there are so many possible different two-gene combos, and so many have been produced and are being produced. its a mathematical problem basically, assuming that there are 100 different genes you can work with, its up to 10000 two-gene combinations. and a few months ago when you could see how many morphs WOBP has listed, it was around 2100. now when you include triple-gene combinations, and combinations involving a super form (if there is one), you will be at around 1 million possible combinations. of course the numbers depend on assumptions, like how many morphs there are that are really different.

and apparently people didnt keep track of this one. usually these basic two-gene combinations are more well-documented.

all you can do is to ask different people when they first produced it, and when you get something that seems fairly early, like "breeder XYZ 2009", just take that information and use it and ask people to contact you if they know anything about it being produced earlier. basically like worldofballpythons.com tries to do it.
