Long time snake owner, but semi new to Ball Morphs. I would like to buy a Female "Lesser Platinum".

But I do not know the difference between just a "Normal Lesser", and a "Platinum Lesser". Is it something I can see visually, or do I just take someone's word for it when I buy one? I can't seem to see the difference.

What's the chances of someone selling me a Normal, and telling me it's a Plaatinum?

Thanks!!!

Lessers are all the same. The Platnium is a seperate morph in itself that is very rarely sold if any have been.

In a nutshell Ralph Davis imported the original Platinum. Bred it to some normals and got babies that looked almost like the Platty Daddy but not quite he called them Lesser Platinums. Most people dropped the Platinum off the Lesser name when it was discovered that the Platinum gene was carried on the normal looking offspring of the Platty Daddy.

So Lesser or Lesser Platinum are in fact the same morph.

Love the morph but hate the name "Lesser"... Wish he had named them something nicer.
