the butter and lesser is the exact same morph just originating from 2 different breeders. This is not a pastel butter kingpin, it's a pastel kingpin (butter lineage). Everyone wants to get caught up with the semantics (sp) of the name game and this is ultimately causing soooo much confusion. People changing names of existing combo's and morphs constantly just because it's from a different lineage but still the same morph. People naming morphs before they are proved out when alot of these "new" morphs will actually prove out to be something already established in the hobby. I have no problem with naming a NEW morph but put in the extra 1-3 years and no what you are naming and marketing. The market has come to the point that unless the animal is stunning from the start, it's not going to be worth thousands and thousands of dollars anymore. Waiting until you have a super proved (which may be stunning) is logical and the responsible thing to do. I love ball pythons, they are awesome. I've been keeping them since the early 90's and breeding since the late 90's and I'm starting to get confused over what morphs are actually out there (how many lines and names for sables or granites can we really have?)

Back to my original statement. Take 10 average butters and 10 average lessers and put in one 32qt tub. I will bet nobody will be able to seperate them all correctly.
