No Butters?

[Quiet Tempest]

So I've been window shopping here and there trying to get an idea of what butter balls are going for lately and I can't even find any. Everyone seems to have plenty of lesser platinums they want to sell and I've found a few butter combos that are out of my budget but I can't find a plain butter anywhere. Are butters out of fashion nowadays?

BHB has some for $550 http://www.bhbreptiles.com/index.php...mart&Itemid=12

Yea I've noticed the same thing, I've been looking for a female butter myself and cant really find anything that isint a combo, or I find one too late and is already sold, but I believe any 09 butters around would be going for 500ish. After that you just have to wait for the 2010' hatchlings. or look into any of the butter combos lurking around.

Just picked up a 583 gram female butter/lesser for $500 shipped,
gotta jump fast when they are put up for sale, a very popular snake.

Is it a butter or a lesser? Pretty girl either way.

Samo samo.

I have lessers already, this "butter" is no different than my lessers.

It's hard for me to tell lessers and butters apart as babies but I do see a difference when I'm looking at adults. The lessers tend to get darker with age but the butters usually hold on to the lighter yellow hues that I love about them.

[snakesRkewl]

Butters and lessers come in shades that make them impossible to tell the difference, even as adults(so I'm told).
I believe them to be the same thing, but have yet to breed them so I can't vouch for that.

There should be some on the market in few months.

I am one of those who feel that they are different morphs in the same family. I work with Bell line Butters and feel they are on the whole a "higher yellow toned" morph than Lessers .

I held ALL my Butter girls the last 2 years because the market did not value females enough for me to sell them -- they are worth more to me as breeders in the future.

I feel that the "difference" between almost all base morph males and females should be at least 50% greater than it usually is.

If their price tags have anything to say about it, they're different. After looking around online and talking to several breeders in neighboring states, it looks like their butters are pricier than their lesser counterparts.
