I am beginning to understand that "technically", my Lesser Platinum is a Heterozygous Lesser Platinum. It would be a Homozygous Lesser Platinum if was in "Super Form" or a "Super Lesser".

In common ball python terminology, we leave the "Het" part off of co-doms like Lesser Platinum so that we can make recessive genes easier to understand or distinguish, especially for beginners.

So, am I on the right track here people? Any thoughts?

I am sure I still have much to learn in the ways of the Jed... er, Breeder Arts.
This is exactly the way I was thinking. I, too, have learned a great deal!
