Even with the blue eyed differ from one another depending on which ones are combined (slight purple coloration in the head area). So I guess the only true way of knowing is to wait and see if/when she breeds.....and if/when that happens I'll be more then happy to share my results with you all...!
The are exactly the same. The only difference is selective breeding of the lines to have a slight visual variation. This is like how Lemon pastels are bright yellow compared to the duller, but blushed out Graziani pastel lines. Not to mention the sandy coloration of Blonde pastels. No matter how variable they look, they're still all pastels in the end.

How many examples of all the different butter/lesser morphs and combos have you seen? The pictures on WOBP do not represent every example out there.

The differences you are seeing between black butters vs black platinums, pastel lessers vs pastel butters, butter bees vs lesser bees, etc etc are a direct heritable result of the individual parents and different examples of the morph. There are bright reduced butters, but there are also equally bright reduced lessers. Both morphs can also have really creamy busy examples too, and so on.

And when it comes to combos, you have to take parental looks into consideration as well. Both parents contribute to the offspring. A busy spider could have bred to a lesser for a busy lesser spider offspring compared to a reduced spider breeding to a butter for a more reduced butter spider offspring. A blushed out pastel bred to a lesser could have more blushed out offspring than a less blushed out pastel to a butter. A darker black pastel has influence as well as a browner black pastel.

In the end, they're the same mutation. Different lines with a lot of variation.
Its not like all people of the same race or ethnicity look exactly the same either.

Would you be able to list the butter or lessers in the pictures the people provided above(including mine)?

And purple headed BEL is characteristic of Super Mojaves. You don't see them in butter/lesserxMojo or butterxbutter/lesserxlesser gene BELs.



And what do you mean that you will have to wait until your snake breeds? You bought her as a lesser, so her offspring will be lesser or lesser combos..............
