    Opinions: Which Lesser reigns supreme?

    This season I've produced lessers from two clutches with very different appearances. Now, I thought I knew what constituted a 'good lesser', but I've received compliments on all 3 animals from different people, suggesting they thought each one was really good (or even, the best they've seen). Now, I'm curious...how do you judge a high-quality lesser from a low-quality lesser? I will post pictures of the 3 lessers here, and ask, which one do you think is the best quality lesser? Answer that in the poll, and then explain why you think it's the best. (I think this could be very interesting, not just for me, but for many).

    Lesser 3:

    I can assure you that all 3 are lesser platinum, though they might also have some granite going on. I produced all 3 of them, and #2 and #3 came from the same clutch. All 3 have the same sire, and I pair my snakes with only ONE male per season.

    I like the first one lighter and more reduced than the others.
    Absolutely obsessed with ball pythons!

    Hi,

    I went for number one as well.

    I like the colours better and the lack of speckling just appeals to me more.

    Of course you get different answers, what constitutes a nice lesser/mojave/pastel/axanthic (etc etc etc) is all down to the individuals personal tastes.

    Personally I like the first lesser. When we purchased our lesser we went for a light, bright one but thats not to say it's 'the best'. just my personal preference.

    Re: Opinions: Which Lesser reigns supreme?

    I like the first two, the first one because he looks like the perfect example of a lesser ( Still, could be more colorful im not going to lie but he is still really good looking)

    The second one for its blushing, but I do see some darker brown in its coloring. To me, in the end, color has everything to do with it because im sick of seeing washed out brown adult lessers who kept not yellow or caramel in contrast to a nice brown.

    Come here little guy. You're awfully cute and fluffy but unfortunately for you, you're made of meat

    I'm certainly not an expert, so I'll just go on my gut instinct... and I am digging #2 the most. I just love the rich buttery colors - in fact, he/she almost looks like a butter morph! All three are gorgeous, but #1 is too light for my taste and #3 is too dark, whereas the middle one is just right. Very nice lessers regardless, and I'd happily take any of them off your hands.

    I voted for #1. I prefer lighter colored lessers. I know it's not, but #3 does look pretty Mojo like.
