    Mojave Spider and Bumblebee variations

    I have managed to find myself a beautiful bright yellow male pastel and a gorgeous male mojave. I am hoping to make Mojave Spiders and Bumblebees when the time is right, but had a few questions for the pros out there.

    1. Will pairing the male mojave with a high-white spider female show noticeable differences in the offspring vs pairing him with a low-white high gold spider female? I don't know much about the Mojave Spider morph.

    2. Same question for the Bumblebee offspring. Although I am fairly certain that the higher white sides on a spider will help produce brighter bumblebees, or at least it doesn't hurt.

    3. Does a high-gold/ low-white spider female produce bumblebees with greater amounts of yellow with less white?

    I understand that there are going to be high variations of color in all of the babies but was just pondering future breeding plans.

    Any pictures that could help show any differences would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!

    The amount of white when it comes to breeding a Spider,Calico,Piebald has no bearing on how much white will show in the offspring. Not sure on the gold of a Spider maybe someone else will chime in on that.

    Absolutely none? I wasn't expecting that answer.

    I personally would rather breed a high white, high gold spider female to my male pastel or vice versa. As long as the male pastel is holding his color nice you can expect beautiful babies. My female spider has pretty high white sides at least half way up her body with a deep gold running down here back as well as strands of yellow accenting her sides. Can't wait until my Pastel and her go this season!

    Take that spider throw a little ghost in there, breed the baby spider het ghost back to the Bumblebee now theres a nice project to pursue. Ghosts make anything look great.

    P.S. on another note, I have a female mojave het ghost that I believe if 10x lighter and has way nicer blushing then normal mojaves. Her ghost in her almost comes through. When she sheds the skin is almost clear as a ghosts, very slight pattern. I have also seen Axanthic x Mojave breeding and the babies had higher blushing and white in them then normal mojaves. The spider pairing should look nice.
