blue eyed lucy x normal

[Michelle1221]

This is a great tool to use to figure out genetic outcomes

A Lucy is s super form of the Platinum complex (Mojaves, Lessers, Butters, Russo). You breed to a normal you will just get Lesser's & Mojaves. The BEL is worth more than either one. You would be better off breeding it to another Lesser or Mojave. At least that way you would have a chance to get more BEL's.

I was going to suggest the same site. Love playing around with the wizard and the pictures are great.

Breeding a mojave/lesser BEL X a Lesser or a mojave is not smart.
How will you know which combo the BEL you make is?
Mojave/Lesser BEL's can look as white as a lesser/lesser combo BEL, so what do you tell the potential buyer the snake is if you can't tell.

So what would you suggest?

how much are lessers and mojaves worth? can i have fancy lessers and mojaves or just regular?

It sounds like, and i cant believe nobody has said such yet as I am even often surprised at how quick some are persecuted by some around here. Please forgive me I am not trying to harp on you for being an amateur, i would however like to suggest possibly doing a little more research before making a decision to breed any type of animals. Breeding snakes is a fun but sometimes tedious process, and although it can definetly be done for the joy or to obtain that special morph just cant get your hands on, and a lot of times to make a living, nothing about this post or thread for that matter suggests your representing any of the positive aspects of breeding that we all enjoy.

I don't see why you couldn't breed a lesser/mojo BEL to a mojo, since super mojaves have distinctly different heads than lesser/mojo BELs.

And I second the concern to the OP to do some more research on BPs before deciding to breed.

Personally, I would suggest anything thats not part of the BEL complex including normals. I think a BEL is a great morph to breed if you already have a female normal. Getting a clutch from a normal that is 100% morphs would be great!

I agree its just like lesser x butter Lucys. There really is no way to tell.

I wasn't the the person who posted the original thread. My question "what do you suggest"? was asked because he stated it was not smart to breed a BEL back to a mojave or Lesser so I wanted him to explain. Your response was actually my thoughts so I was wondering where it got that it wasn't smart.

I know. I was offering my suggestion. I do agree that breeding to a lesser would be far too likely to produce unidentifiable lucys.

So what is the best use of a breeding BEL?
