I have been looking at butter corns online and they seem to vary a lot, I know this is a silly question but do the more bright yellow type ones have a specific name, I just want to be sure that when I do get round to buying a hatchie I buy one that will develop the vibrant yellow colouring ... sorry if this is a dumb a** question  |

I got 2 butter hatchlings this week for a grand total of £40. £20 each from 2 different breeders. The one I picked up today is probably going to be a bit more 'butterscotchy' like his dad.  |

I think alot depends on age. I have seen some hatchlings at £35. Last year I paid £120 for my yearling butter motley breeding pair. Not sure if that was over the odds but I thought they were gorgeous and there weren't many around at the time. |

Just out of curiosity roughly how much can you expect to pay for a butter - have seen one with a very nice price tag, just don't want to pay over the odds |

thanks ... I have seen a few varying colours from lighter to dark and like them all really, I have just bought a snow corn so will have to wait another few months before my next, I also want a darker coloured one, maybe a bloodred :) |

My two butter motleys were almost identical when they were younger, I couldn't tell them apart without doing a spot count. As they have grown Carmellia has become more solid in colour between her spots but Peanut has got paler patches.
I love them both though, definitely two of my best purchases |

My new baby butter was in shed when I picked her up last Monday. Now she's got her new outfit on she is SO bright! Absolutely gorgeous! Looking forward to picking up her future beau in the morning.  |

all morphs tend to vary a lot, its the way of the genetics, however, from baby to adult to colour will change a lot, to the point where other than pattern, the adult is much more colourful than the babies, its nigh on impossible to judge what an adult will look like from looking at a baby, theres just so much that can change over the years. |
