    Is this just a bumble bee or could it have yellow belly or something else?

    I purchased this adult male bumble bee recently. The seller, a local reptile whole seller, said it was a possible yellow belly. I know I shouldn't have without fully knowing his genetics; however, I originally did not plan on breeding him. But, now that I am going to I was wondering if anyone could help me to id his morphs. I do think he is yellow belly because his belly is yellow and has a different pattern than my normal adult female. Also, on his back, the brown has some fading yellow and the black pattern from the spider is not very black. And on bumble bees that I see, it is a very dark pattern. This is my first year really focusing on ball pythons, so I am not very great with all their morphs yet. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I'm not seeing yellowbelly, but I'm not a yellowbelly expert. Still a good looking bee!

    Oh, I agree. He is very good looking. Even if he is just a pastel spider, I am fine with that. Just trying to figure out what I should expect from the babies.

    It's probably a bumblebee it's kinda hard to see yellow belly with the high white sides like that

    I have two bumble bee females and I feel the same, how it looks like they are two completly differant morphs. One is all high-lighter yellow and one very calico one scale yellow and white no mix and high white side, but they are just varying expressions of the same morph. Not every snake looks just like the one one the genitic calculator. You will prove yllow belly out fast .if you breed it only then you know for sure.

    I am breeding him to a normal female this year so I can determine exactly what he is. I will be happy with whatever, but fingers crossed for yellow belly so I can get a solid white snake. haha
