Lesser vs. Butter?

[mainbutter]

I think we can all agree that the 2nd animal is out of this world.. not too many like it. I'd sure like to snatch up a similar one someday.

I think I would guess the first is a butter and the second a lesser, but that's just a guess lol. The reason this all started was I saw a lesser pastel for 450 listed on ks, I've been shopping butter pastels for the last month or so and haven't seen one less than 700. Maybe I am just looking at the high end butters or perhaps that was a really low priced pastel?

Are you sure it was a lesser pastel? $450 seems really low for a lesser pastel. Those are usually closer to what you are finding the butter pastels for.

those are the exact same snake haha just different lighting... so that also shows that light plays with the colors so its almost a toss up with some snakes.now the second pic is after she packed on another 150gs though.

I think she was responding to Robin's post on page 2.

I am positive it was a lesser pastel. I've been looking at only co-dom males lately since that's what I will be shopping for come Nov at the Phoenix show. I remembered reading that lessers and butters were thought at one point to be the same morph, so that's what spawned this thread. Trying to figure out why one would be so cheap and the other so expensive. Was that just a fluke?

haha oh well either way i love a thread full of butter/lesser pics

Both animals in my example are lessers.

That second lesser is absolutely stunning, Robin. The blushing is phenomenal. I stand reaffirmed that I will just look for the best represented morph, not necessarily a butter or a lesser by name lol.
