    BEL's - How to tell?

    So if I bred two Mojo x Lesser BEL's together, the WOBP Wizard shows this -

    My question is, how would you tell which snake was which? I know there's a few slight differences between the BELs, but are there any that are always definitely there? Or do you have to do some guesswork and proving?

    That is why is is probably not the best idea to do this pairing. You will have a hard time labeling the offspring. The Super Mojo will stand out, but unless the Super Lesser is bug-eyed, it will look like the Mojo Lesser.

    i may be wrong on this but i think the head will tell you, i think the super mojave has a slight grey tint to it where the mojave x lesser either doesn't or is lessened then the super mojave. but i am sure someone will be around who "Knows" better then i do.

    That's what I thought. I knew about the grey/purple head of the Mojos, but wasn't sure if the others had distinguishing consistent features.

    How prevalent does the Super Lesser Bug Eyes seem to be? I've seen pictures on here of a few, but not many.

    Now heres a question - I already have a Lesser to breed with (he isn't owned by me, the owner and I are doing a breeding collaborative), would it be better to get a butterxmojo or a super mojo female to breed with him? Just to steer away from the potential bug eyes on the super lessers? But I think with the butterxmojo id have the same problem as not being able to tell anybody apart...

    Super mojos tend to have a purple/greyish head but thats not always the case i think. I wouldnt do that pairing bc then people wont know what offspring theyre gunna get when they buy from you. Like personally if i had money for a BEL id want a mojo/lesser. not a super mojo or super lesser.

    A super mojo to a lesser would be good bc any bels you produce would be mojo lessers.
    I honestly dont know too much about bug eyeing but i dont think its a huge deal. Like compared to spider wobble i dont think its as common...

    Super Mojo BEL to Lesser Mojo BEL would also be fine since all the offspring will be one or the other and easy to distinguish.

    IMO Butter and Lesser are the same thing, so changing Butter for Lesser will not help.
