    New to breeding
    I recently have gotten back into keeping ball pythons and hoping to start breeding them in the future. I picked up a 100% het albino female (2010) the other day and I really wanna pick up a spider and a pastel but I'm not sure which should be the male. Any suggestions on this or anything else would be greatly appreciated.

    Personally I would go with a male spider/female pastel. That way if you do get a male bee out of the pairing you can breed it back to the pastel and possibly get a killer bee sooner than if you had to wait for a female bee to grow up.

    Welcome to BP.net :colbert2:. It would all depend on what you are looking to produce.

    Like Kinra said you could produce a killer-bee quicker if that's what you wanted by getting male spider / female pastel. Then all you need is a butter to get yourself a killer-queen! =)

    That is kinda of the route I am taking... male spinner, female pastel...

    Thanks for the help so far. I wasn't really looking far past the bumble bees but I didn't want to limit my options either .

    I'd get a male spider het albino or a pastel het albino or a pinstripe het albino to take advantage of the het albino gene in the female ;)

    To me that would only make sense if one wanted pastels in most every morph they make :confused:

    There is a male albino and female het on kingsnake at a really decent price ;)
