    Simple Bug Eye question

    Can a regular lesser get bug eyes or just supers? How common is it?

    its only common in the super lessers, im not sure how common it is, I've seen quite a few super lessers and never seen a bug eye one in real life. Quite a few pictures online though.

    Re: Simple Bug Eye question

    As there are a lot of super lessers that do not have bug eyes, it is probably not a simple genetic condition. IMHO, the genetics predispose a super lesser, but an environmental factor triggers the development of the condition. Identifying the environmental trigger is the hard part, of course.

    I'm aware of the issue in Super Lessers.

    Has anyone ever reported it in a regular lesser or lesser combo?

    No I have never heard of any birth defect related to just lesser combos.. I have also never observed the "bug eyes" on a BEL.
