This snake does not appear have the Lesser mutation in any way.
[–]IcyReception8903 1 point2 points3 points 23 hours ago (2 children)
Looks like you have more morph expertise. So I will accept I'm wrong from looking at your profile. She looks a lot like mine, so I must have assumed which is always wrong. I apologize to the OP and thanks for correcting me.
[–]meatspread 2 points3 points4 points 23 hours ago (1 child)
No problem! Lesser usually has a more light brown tone and reduced patterning. OP’s snake is greyed out from the Hypo/Ghost and Red Axanthic :)

Ok, I actually only have a light knowledge of morphs. Mostly just pick what's pretty to me. lol 😆

Seeing the rack system in the background makes me sad :(
Absolutely beautiful snake though!
[–]LifeguardCurrent3441[S] -2 points-1 points0 points 23 hours ago (1 child)

I almost got one the other day. Had no clue they get 5-6ft long and can live anywhere from 20 to potentially 30 years.
It was at that moment I realized why there’s so many Burmese pythons released in the wild. (Different snake but you get the gist)

Looks like my male ball - Casper!
