    Need Help Identifying My New BP's Morph and Sex!

    I just picked this little guy up from my local pet store because he just seemed so lonely and I personaly liked his coloring. The label said he was a "Butter/Lesser" so what exactly does that mean?? Is he a Butter or a Lesser? Also I probed him and from what I can see from the probing and the instructions given by a breeder I previously purchased from he is a male, but is probing 100% accurate? Thanks in advance for ANY help guys and gals!!!

    probing is mostly accurate if you know how to.
    Personally I prefer to see the organs to know for a fact what the snake is.

    Butter = Lesser = Butter

    Is he a Butter or a Lesser?
    Could be either one, no one can tell for certain except the person that produced this animal. Either way really the same thing.

    but is probing 100% accurate?
    If done properly on an animal that has not been previously injured, yes.

    Best is to pop IMO no mistake then

    Thanks for the info! I tried popping but I just can't get it right, I think I am not applying enough pressure but I don't want to hurt him/her...

    it's mostly technique, it doesn't take a lot of pressure to get the organs to show themselves.
