I just picked up a couple female lessers, I can't believe how beautiful that gene is in person! I had no idea, it seems you just can't quite capture the beauty on camera. This year I'm going to try to make some Bamboo Lessers, should be an all white snake. It's allelic so if you breed the Bamboo Lesser you won't get any normals, will make for a powerful breeder.
As for my retics, the male is a purple albino super dwarf, he is actually 37.5% super dwarf, 50% dwarf (Jampea), and 12.5% mainland. The female is a white albino 50% dwarf (Jampea) and 50% mainland.
So the babies will be all lavender albino, and will be a mix of SD / D / mainland (19 / 50 / 31). I'm guessing the babies should get about as big as a boa constrictor. My male is definitely smaller than a boa, the female is a bit bigger. Should be a perfect mix to give a nice large snake, but not too large that can't be handled by one person. I'll be sure to post something here when and if I get a clutch this year. I'm actually thinking about holding back two of the babies and breeding them together, that will give me a mix of white albino, lavender albino, and purple albino babies!
