    Newbie question
    Hey gang new here! Worked w other herps when I was younger, but Never with ball pythons. My son got me started back up and I snagged a nice Fire Bee ball python. At any rate, we were curious what would some of you breed to a female Fire Bee. Just a fun project for my son and I someday and hope to produce a baby or two. We may not even breed her as she's starting off as a living room display pet. Much appreciated!

    Breeding is something to prepare in order to get ready for incubation of the eggs and then the housing of the juvenils. not 1 or 2. more like 5or6 but could be 8. each juv. should have is own enclosure. So if you breed her get ready for that coz many morphs are difficult to place.

    That said your girl has some easy to sell genes and the combo pairing are very interesting and very different.
    Just remember nott pairing her with a champagne, spider or woma because those pairing ill bring a 25% chance lethal to your clutch.
    Like say above you can try genetic wizzard and check the morph on WOBP.

    If she was my girl and I plan to add a single snake to my collection to breed her then i will add a male orange dream enchi YB. Its a three gene animal that cost around 800$ stunning himself with crazy combos to do with your fire bee. Try this pairing on genetic wizzard.

    other stuff could be cool : calico/sugar gene pair well with the spider, vanilla is cool paired to fire, maybe lesser/butter as well.

    good research

    I don't believe spider x spider or spider x woma is proven to be lethal. I know the debate on spider is ongoing but i haven't heard of spider x woma being lethal. There appears to be many spider woma combos.

    Also I'd recommend getting a Leopard Pastel combo to make Beemore Bees
    Google them, they're amazing.

    This is great... thank you. I don't know if I'll ever breed, but playing with this sure makes me want to.

    Thanks everyone! Yes when I was a younger I kept and bred some leos,dwarf monitors in the past and have delt with single hatchlings in a rack system, so I'm aware of all the fun that comes w breeding-lol. We may not even breed her someday as we just wanted a striking ball morph in our living room for a pet. Thanks for the cool pairing suggestions gang and we will do some fun research on mixing morphs. Good stuff!

    spider woma is not lethal but the neurologic issue are huge. the wobble is very severe on every single specimen. not like the single spider or woma gene which present fromm light to heavy issues.
    For the debate, on breeding Spider to spider: i will not recommend it just because no spider have been proven to be super by hatchling 100% spiders, that enough as a prove for me since it s a very old morph to explain the death in eggs from spider to spider pairing.
    Some people want to see for themself and that s their right but keep in mind that this pairing had been made thousand of times, like the desert female issue.

    Easy, get anything with another Fire gene in it so you can have a chance at a Black eyed lucy (all white usually)
