Butters and Lessers questions

jsschrei Sep 15, 2008 02:05 PM

Hi all,
I am considering aquiring a butter or lesser platinum. Does anyone have pictures of both as ADULTS to help me make a decision? I have heard that as lessers age they lose their yellow and as butters age they get more yellow. Is that true?

Do any of you have personal preferences of one over the other? Why? Can you give some insight on what particular characteristics each lend to combos?

Thanks in advance,
Jessica

Lessers vary quite a bit in color. Here's a picture of an '06, an '07, and an '08.

Here are two '08s, sired by the same male, but from different clutches:

Here's the '06 male that sired the two above:
