They are Lesser Platinum...first produced by Ralph Davis from his Platinum male. They have produced Lesser Platinums, Platinums, and Leucistics.

All of the information on these snakes can be found here...

Lesser plattys= lesser platinum
codominant component of "platty daddy" or straight up "Platinum" balls.
also known to produce blue eyed leucistics

Check out Ralph Davis' website...he is the cultivator of the platinum morph.

Lesser Platinum... from Ralph Davis' original Platinum BP... Offsprings didn't look like the Platty Daddy... so they were coined Lessers... They have the ingredients to make Blue Eyed Luecistics as well as recreating Platty Daddy babies and what else?!?!

Nope, just someone too damn lazy to type platinum or platty. Sad what's it coming to...

Before you go accusing someone of being "to damn lazy", Why don't you go and check the link that the person is refering to. If you weren't so "damn lazy" to do so, you would have noticed that the ad IS titled "Lesser Plattys". That's exactly how Ralph himself refers to them. So, get off your lazy ass and check for your self. The link in question is conviently located in the original post.

Hey!! Good on ya' for swoopin' in there and changing it. Also, I said "too damn lazy" not "to damn lazy". Pay attention.
Attention to detail is important, even when selling a pair of "lesser balls" for $100,000/pr. Have a great day.

Are you really that stupid ??? The title of an ad can't be changed once it has been posted. That is the exact way that ad was posted, nothing was changed. A real man would have just admitted that he made a mistake and said "SORRY"........

I feel the love in the air...

It said "Lesser Plattys" in the title the whole time ... you read it too fast when you first looked at it, Mykee.

Though it says "Lessers" in the ad itself, the fact that it says "Lesser Plattys" in the title makes it clear enough. Its like saying "Ball Pythons" in the title and then "Balls" in the ad.

I don't really care either way since I have no personal involvement in this, but you should apologize, Mykee, since you did discredit him for no reason ... a potential buyer could've been lurking somewhere out of sight ...
