Queen Bee or Killer Queen?

I'm having a great day, but am having an issue with the I.D.

Queen Bee or Killer Queen? All pics I have seen of Queen Bees don't have as much of the head blushed out.

Snake on the left is a Super Pastel Lesser for comparison. No bar across the back of the head like most Queen Bees I have seen.

As always, all comments welcome. Either way I'm very excited and he is the first boy out of this clutch with one yet to hatch.

This is a preshed pic of a queenbee we hatched out recently.
I'm not positive but I believe yours is a queenbee.

Nice clutch by the way :gj:

Thanks. Mine seems to be a little more blushed out in the head ( in between the eyes and the bar across the back of the head) and pattern, but it is very tricky I'm guessing that's why no one is really chiming in on this one. I'm gonna hold him back anyway so it's just for my own curiosity. The pattern on yours is sweet tho. :gj:

It does look like a killer queen, definitely lighter on the pattern/head than a queen bee. Queen bees have more of a brown color to the pattern and its pretty well defined, as you can see yours is pretty blushed out. I would say killer queen if you're 100% on the genetics. Can you shoot a few more pics?

Killer Queen.

OK you are seeing what I am seeing. All I have is pictures to refer to from World of Ball Pythons and such, but I'm seeing Killer as well.
I'll snap some better picks of the clutch once they all shed out. I'm just really excited about hitting on 2 supers and a 3 gene and 4 gene snake to boot on a 4 egg clutch.
Parents are a Pastel Lesser male from Brock Wagner and Bumblebee female from Garrick DeMeyer, so yes I'm 100% on the genetics :D

Killer!

Gorgeous clutch, thanks for sharing! :gj:
