Butter (Lesser) Ball Python Genetics Explained

Butter, also known as Lesser, is an incomplete dominant Ball Python morph, meaning one copy of the gene produces a visual Butter (Lesser), while two copies result in a Super Butter (Super Lesser). This gene is a key member of the Blue Eyed Leucistic complex, and when paired with compatible genes such as Mojave or another Butter (Lesser), it can produce Blue Eyed Leucistic Ball Pythons. Due to its reliability and wide compatibility, Butter (Lesser) remains a cornerstone of modern Ball Python genetics.

Love this little guy

Love this little guy. Has not missed a meal yet and he settled right in. We’ve been handling him every day for about 15 minutes and he’s already sleeping on our arms while we work during the day. Definitely be buying another one at some point and will absolutely purchase from you folks. Highly highly recommend 👍👍👍

Absolutely amazing!

I love my Katharos! He is a male BEL ball python and came in healthy and beautiful. He was very calm upon his arrival and handled very well. He did not want to eat the first week but he did his second week home. I am anxious to handle him more but I am patiently waiting for him to get 2 meals in first, hopefully he will take his second meal this week. Wilbanks did an amazing job and from the ordering process up to delivery was smooth and they were there every step of the way when I had any questions!

Awesome snake

Snake arrived healthy and took to new home very well. Was eating frozen thawed within the first week. The seller even called before he shipped to make sure i was ready for her. Highly reccomended.

Great first experience!

This was my very first experience with purchasing a reptile through a website and willbanks made it so easy and straightforward. There was a small snag in the shipping process (no fault of theirs) and they were super helpful and responsive through the whole process! Highly recommend.
