I would tend to say, are you sure it's a Lesser? but as it's you, I won't.
As the female is a CF, it can be carrying a recessive gene that you are unaware of and the quickest way to find out if it is, is to keep back a male hatchling and mate him back to the CF female.

thanks Eric, the Lesser was from Noah via Darren. The CF female would of been one that I picked out for standing out amongst several hundred, can't say it looks anything special now though  .
The more I look at them the more I just think that somehow I must of used a male pied but I just don't see why I would of done a) because I didn't want to produce het pieds and b) the female was only small so I knew there wouldn't be many eggs so I thought a codom would be better.
I've sexed them now and they are 3.1 , I'll hang on to a pair and sell off the two males.

thats weird lol.
tell you what, you could give them all to me and i could test them to see what morph they are het for. this may take a few years though  and i am afraid the cost for doing this is 4 royal pythons which are het for an unknown morph
