Jack in one year (uhm... almost one year).

Just wanted to send an update on the bumblebee I hatched last year. He's not the best bee - his sister was actually a "cleaner" bee (and, in my opinion, better looking) than this guy is, but after almost a year, he has turned out to be quite a stunning bp. He has turned a much deeper and brighter yellow which provides great contrast to his "dirt spots". He still has the distinct brownish line down his back just like his pastel mother.

This is a picture from last year (he pipped on July 30, 2010) right after his first shed. He was 65g:

Here he is now at 720g. He shed 3 days ago:

I think he looks great, he did look a little odd as a baby.

I like him :gj: The yellow really pops :gj:

He grew up to be a handsome guy!

I love his funky pattern and how high yellow he is. :gj:

I have to say, this guy is a monster eater. Hasn't missed a meal since his very first one.

I'm expecting him to go on a fast anytime now - my males seem to go on a fast when they hit 700g.

I'm thinking there's some truth to that spider gene being excellent eaters.

I wish someone would tell that to the 2 hatchlings I have :rolleyes:

My male pastel has just started to fast, he is nailed on 700 grams. My rats are simply not good enough anymore!:taz:

I really like the bee, he has character :)

The ugly duckling (not really) has turned into a beautiful breeder sized male. It always amazes me how different all snakes look from hatchlings to adults.

Very nice and lookin good!
