    Do a side by side notice how the butters black is browner, notice how the lesser's blacks are more rich.....now this is based on my theory that people are excepting the one for the other....! You decide!!!! I'm out to prove it!
    With your thought process, then I guess that means Lemon Pastels, Graziani Pastels, Citrus Pastels, and Bell Pastels must all be different morphs. They each have their own unique physical characteristic that defines that line of pastel. A quality Graziani looks nothing like a Lemon. Thoughts?

    You need more examples other than 2 snakes. What you think is "true" may not be "true" to another person. The sample size is much too small to come to a conclusion.
    The looks of the same morph or combo very greatly. There is no "set look", just guidelines.

    Like I mentioned before, there are brighter, darker, clean, dirty, reduced, busy, etc etc, examples of Butters and Lessers. They can look totally alike and very different.
    And like AWOL stated, the physical looks on a clutch of the same morph can very greatly, but in the end, they're still the same morph.
    And the variance you are seeing in your two examples are based on individual parental influence***!

    My lesser is a more yellow example of the morph. Typically people think "creamy" when they think lesser. And vice versa with Butter.
    Does that mean it's not a "true" lesser?

    I wish you luck on proving your theory. But I have to be honest, the outcome looks bleak.

    ***
    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.
    P.S. Thank you for the neg rep points. I guess the opinions, observations, and possible facts of others means nothing to you.
