ButterBee and Fire Spider...

Just thought I'd post a pic of these girls.

Cleanest Butterbee I have seen. Hardly any spots on her at all. Mom isn't a half bad Spider herself. Missed the Nuclear Spider, but we missed. Will easily settle for these girls ;)

Man mom and pop are clean! I can see where the genetics come from I assume your lesser carries the fire gene?

Are you sure thats not a nuclear? I just hatched out a clutch and the most obvious difference between the butterbee and the nuclear was that the nuclear was much cleaner.. The center of the head stamp also looks pretty light for just a butterbee.

Don't think it is a Nuclear. Check Wilbanks page..... they are much more insane.

I honestly don't think you produced a Nuclear spider either from those pics. Just a cleaner ButterBee.

The sample pic he has is an extreme example IMO. I've never seen another nuclear that looks like that. Look at the one he has for sale on that page (the smaller pic below), it looks nothing like the sample pic and I would have thought it was just a butterbee if it wasn't labeled a nuclear. Most nuclears I've seen have been half way between the two.

I have probably produced 5-6 Nuclears this season and 8 Butters... some Het Clown.

You must be careful wit the Butter/Fire combo....very tough to distinguish when combined with a 3rd gene mixed in, but when you hit it, it should be obvious.

This one was on the edge last season..... sold her as a ButterBee because I'd rather make a buyer happy they got a triple instead of disappointed it didn't prove out later. Sold her to Roach here on the forum... maybe he can post a pic of her now. I'll ask him to post one up.

I think I saw her in one of your for sale posts a while back. Honestly I don't see fire at all. Like you said, there's an obvious difference.

Here is 2 pics of the Butterbee I got from Corey last year. http://ball-pythons.net/gallery/file.../butterbee.jpg[/URL] http://ball-pythons.net/gallery/file...butterbee2.jpg[/URL]

Wow! Beautiful babies!!!

You have some great babies. They look awesome.:D
