    Help with ID

    Hello fellow ball python enthusiasts! I need some help with an ID.:cens0r: A friend of mine paired his pastel female with his lesser male. The hatchlings have just come out, and he is unsure wether these are lessers, or pastel lessers. These are the only snakes with the lesser gene so comparisons are unfortunately impossible.
    I therefore call upon you, fellow breeders, and those with far more experience than myself with the lesser gene, to help my friend with this ID. Are they simply lessers? Or pastel lessers. I believe they are simple lessers, but I may well be wrong.:cens0r:

    Thanks in advance.

    That is my thinking also. Although as a point of interest. These have just come out of the eggs in the last 3 days. Have not had their first shed yet. Don't think that changes much. But good to know.

    Lesser
    If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.

    Thank you everyone! Your input is very much appreciated. I will pass along your answers to my friend. He'll be a little disappointed I'm sure, but I think we're all just excited he got eggs! Odds weren't on his side this year I guess. 7 eggs, no pastel lessers.

    I will definitely try to get some updated pics up for you once they shed and have a couple meals. I may even take one of these little guys/gals for myself.

    That sounds like a great idea. They are some really nice lessers, one if them would be nice in any collection.
