Mystery Lesser Clutch? Help ID?

[TheReptileEnthusiast]

Alright I gotta ask...

I always thought Lesser's and lesser platinums were the same just a different name. Can someone explain what exactly "platinum" means and why they differ from lessers. They seem hypoish is that the only difference?

Ralphs original snake is a Platinum, aka "Platty daddy". His first generation offspring didn't look quite like him, so he called them "Lesser Platinums", as in not quite platinum.

Later it was discovered that some of "Platty daddy's" normal looking offspring carried the extra "hidden gene" that when combined with a lesser platinum will produce a true Platinum.

You are correct, lesser is just short for lesser platinum. But Platinum is a snake like platty daddy that has the hidden gene as well.

Also, Ralph has bred a butter to a hidden gene carrier and produced a butter daddy that has the caracteristics of a platinum as well.
