    Question Lesser Vs. Butter? for better BEL's

    I will be goin to the White Plains Reptile Expo ( www.reptileexpo.com ) at the end of the month... There will be a few things I'm getting and lookin for.. I LOVE the BEL's... BUT they are way out of my price range right now, and I was thinking of gettin a Lesser , I like the color in them, the blushing and flames are nice in them too.. What combo would make the best BEL, Lesser x Lesser, butter x butter or a mix of them both? All info and opinions are welcomed also if anyone would happen to know a price range for them.. Thank you in advance


    Cheers

    I would personally go lesser x lesser or butter x butter. I would think if you bred butter x lesser you would have trouble 100% knowing if the babies were butter or lesser since they look so much alike.

    Re: Lesser Vs. Butter? for better BEL's

    from whatI read the butter to butter prodces the cleanest bel then lesser then mojave. I have a butter and I like them better they apear to havea birghter yellowing to me than a lesser or mojave .. I think a lesser is not faded as much and can be mistaken for a bright normal.. I post pics of my butter 9 newer ones ) ifI had a 10)% working camera. the one I got makes pictures look blurry I think it cause it was given a soda bath and I can only clean the outer parts ( nothing inside hte moving parts are removeable ot clean.)

    Re: Lesser Vs. Butter? for better BEL's

    Although Butters and Lessers look similar some time, they are not the same thing. A clear color difference is noted in many photos of both morphs. I would say do Butter x Butter, they would give the better of the 2, I feel do to the lighter colors Butters tend to be.

    Agree.

    But if I were to pick between those then I would go for 1.1 butter. It appears that they're more lessers than butters for sale.
