Just a nice butter or?

[Pythonfriend]

lesser is short for lesser platinum and nothing there resembles a platinum aka platty daddy. Out of the couple super daddy (homozygous daddy gene) I have seen, I don't see them being a few shades lighter, looks just like the heterozygous to me. Regardless there is no daddy gene in either of those snakes, I'm not quite sure what you think you are seeing, but if either of those butters had the daddy gene, it would be a platinum.

i see that one is significantly brighter and has significantly different colors. and that got my mind working on how that could be explained. maybe, while my explanation is wrong, it still carries a grain of truth. maybe one other gene that interacts with lesser/butter is responsible.

Left is a Lesser, right is a Butter...

first of all i think both genes are the same, but, secondly, if you want to differentiate i would call the more yellow ones butter and the more grey ones lesser. thirdly, thats not possible from a butter to normal pairing.

to figure it out we need more data. you can either get that data by learning more about the ancestry of both parents, thats the easy way, or by continuing to breed the line and figure it out based on offspring.
