Lesser Coloration?

[MitsuMike]

For lessers as babies I know yellow on them can range from:
High Yellow


to a little less yellow along with spine and have a white sides and belly:


Now for people who have owned Lessers how does the yellow or tan/brown vs Black on the body effect them as they get older?

Thanks, I am more curious about the yellow coloration more so than the black and brown. I guess I am just looking for people who have high yellow Lessers and see how they turn out. Emilos lesser seems similar

Anymore help on the whole yellow coloration as they get older? Is it like a pastel and the yellow browns out but the brown/black they have as a baby just brightens?

Your best bet would be to take a look at the parents...

From what I've seen most lesser's do lose the yellow and start to really lighten up with age. This was the case with my original male and a couple lesser's some of my buddy's have that I produced. I hope yours keeps the yellow plus its a very nice one. When it comes to my girl she just surprises the heck out of me, I never expected her to be so freaking amazing. But I have to say in all likelihood there is something else going on with her. In about a month I will have another clutch from the same pairing, maybe it will shed some light on whats really going on.

I have to keep a male to breed back to mom and Sis.

I bump this thread because I currently own the second pictured lesser (female) and was looking for a male and it just so happens that the high yellow is surprisingly still avalible.

Thoughts on the High Yellow fellow? Anyone seen a high yellow male like similar to tihs and seen how he has turned out?

Lesser's tend to get lighter as they age..

They can vary but must will end up with a really nice straw color

As babies they'll start off really yellow 2010



And as they age 2009



Till they get to be adults 2005

Goregous Lessers. I have noticed on him that the blushing stops are everywhere and very big. I just don't want the yellow to brown out. If the yellow turns to the straw color or white then this guy would be epic (to me).
