    Logical breeding plan..? What's yours?

    I am getting my pastel male in the coming week. Now my plans are, to breed him with my 2 breedable females this year. Hopefully, let's say, the odds will be in the 2 clutches, 6 pastels and 6 normals; selling them should give me enough room to keep one female Pastel and buy a female Spider. Then I would continue in the coming years to breed my Pastel male to the adult females, until the Pas female and spider are grown.. so is it logical that in breeding a Super Pastel to a Spider, I could produce Bumble Bees? If not, what would be the result..?
    Oh, and what are your breeding plans for this year and on.. I am curious

    If you breed a Super pastel to a spider you will get pastels,bumblee bees and a few normals.I am not sure if you would get any spiders,i might be wrong.O yea you have the same ideas i have for the future .I might do the super pastel not sure,i will have bumble bees though some day

    I believe the Super Pastel would produce all pastels and you would get a chance at 50% of them being bumblebees from the spider gene. You shouldn't get any normals with a super breeding. If you breed a pastel to a spider you will get normals, spiders, pastels and a possibly some bumblebees.

    Bill is correct on this one. You will get by odds, %50 Pastels and %50 Bumblebees.

    Thanks! My plan for the Supers, is to breed the keeper female to my male Pastel. Of course, that is many years down the road
