Lesser Platnium Question

[Minkness]

Thanks. I think I will chaulk it up to a 'useless' gene and just think of my new BP as a lesser. If something comes from the platnium cool, but I'm not gling to stress it.

It should be(and I say should because I've also only researched it and not bred them):

Lesser x het platinum = 1/4 platinums, 1/4 het platinums, 1/4 lessers, 1/4 normals

Het platinum x het platinum = 1/4 super het platinums( they'd be different than platinums, think super mystic vs mystic potion), 1/2 het platinums, 1/4 normals

You are correct in that you'd get the normals and lessers in the clutches. I purposely left that out though because I was too lazy to type it out. I was just putting out what they two genes combined make. As I said, it's what I THINK is the combos but I can't recall as it's been some time since I dug up the info on them. I find it useless since nobody wants to breed normals for slightly better looking lessers at a stupid cost.

Good idea. It'll save you some headache. To be honest, you can completely disregard platinum and patty daddy etc. and have just a fine time in ball pythons. The gene is virtually non-existent.
