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.
