Lets talk lesser and butters

[Foschi Exotic Serpents]

Really? Well, I still believe they are different genes that do almost the same thing. There are good lessers and good butters. Just like any morph. When I want a butter, I want one that looks like BUTTA! Not a sandy blushed out brushed version of one. My girls amazing yellows and blushing led me to name her Marge for margarine



~No photo tricks here. That is what she looks like under a daylight bulb. No mistaking her for a lesser.

The question is, if you take a lesser and cross it with a butter, do you get hatchlings that are definitively lessers, and others that are definitively butters, or do you get a bunch that run a spectrum, instead? (of course you get a bel, as well, lol).

If you get definitive hatchlings, then they aren't the same thing. If the hatchlings run a spectrum and you can't be quite sure with any one, then they're the same mutation, just different 'lines' (like pastels).

I am curious as which is which.I keep watching this thread to see what they are.

[Brunoheart]

Here is the real test..

Which ones are which???

My guess starting with top left:Butter, Lesser, Butter, Lesser, Mojave on the bottom, Butter on top

[mainbutter]

I believe they are the same.

Just because they are the same morph doesn't mean that they aren't two different lines of the same morph, having other genetics that cause the slight differences people seem to prescribe to the "morphs" themselves.

Lesser or Butter...reduced patterned Lessers/Butters are some of the nicest animals...something I am looking to add to my collection this season...

Alright.

Here's the answer, courtesy of Mark asking me to finally post it.

Sorry it took so long

Left to right:

Butter, Butter, Lesser, Mojave, Butter, Lesser

[MarkS]

The two lightests ones on the right that are sitting on top of each other are a lesser and a mojave? No way...
