    The breeding seems a bit pointless. Breeding two spider genes together would not give you any great morph. You'd get better odds breeding a Bee to a Super pastel or a lemon blast. Maybe even a pewter? Would give you alot more/better outcomes

    I HARDLY think that taking your chances and trying to produce this beauty, is a "pointless breeding"

    The snake in the pic is an axanthic killer bee, so you wouldn't get him from bee X bee. I don't think it would be pointless to breed bee x bee, but ImBooBy is saying that you could breed a bee with other stuff, and have a chance at producing killer bees, but also have a chance at some other stuff too.

    Just my two cents.

    Do you already own breeding age bees? If not... a lesser, a butter, or a fire thrown into the mix would make some awesome clutches.

    I'll be breeding them because I can get a pair of them for $500. Great deal, if you ask me.

    Just my opinion, getting a PAIR of bees with spider genes, you are not only breeding siblings here with the spider gene that you would actually want to OUTCROSS instead of line breed, you would be a LOT better off asking the seller if they have a super pastel to breed and then you would have the chance to get

    Which is not only better odds to get a killer bee, you can get super pastels and you will have bees, and then of course your pastels.

    Oh, and if you pair to a lemonblast, you can still get that killer bee, in fact look at all you can get:

    LOTS of neat stuff.

    I know it's more expensive with a lemon blast, so if you're on a budget, I would ask the seller if they have any super pastels for a group buy to go with your bumblebee. I still don't understand why you would want to breed two sibling spider gene carrying snakes. It makes no logical sense.



    Also, that picture above is the axanthic killer bee as already stated, so there is no argument there.

    PS do not forget, if you're getting a "great deal" on a couple of snakes, make sure it is from a reputable source. Someone here on the forums or a local friend I hope. I don't see it going well otherwise.

    It is a great price. For that price I'd buy them both and then think about trading one to someone for a superpastel, lemonblast or something else.
