Spimo

So who coined the name spimo? Until today, I've never heard of a mojave spider called that.

Hi,

Spimo is a new one on me as well. :weirdface

And mojavebee only has 2 genes - the bee part just means it has spider in it.

Thus we get butter bee, lesserbee, cinnabee, stingerbee, honeybee etc.

When you add the pastel gene a new first name is generally made a la queenbee.

I did like sputter as a name for the butterbee - may be we could call the mojavebee a mutter? :P :P :P

We need a new BP base morph that starts with the letter "N" so I can make a nutter. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

By the way when did NERD add retics, monitor and tokay morphs to the sneak peek?

Nope - 2 genes. As Derek already said - spider crosses are usually referred to as bee's (mojave bee, lesser bee, butter bee, etc). :)

thought SPIMO was 2 gene, and MOJAVE BEE was 3...
i stand corrected

Is the bumblebee the cheapest of the bee morphs right now? I want to make bees but I dont want to start with just spider x pastel. Thinking of getting a cinny and breed bumblebee x cinny.

I figure it would save alot of time and some money doing it this way. I have looked up the outcome and it is all over the place but I like the idea of getting many morphs out of each clutch. Here is what I got for bumblebee x cinny
MALE: Bumblebee --FEMALE: Cinnamon 12.5%: Normal 12.5%: Cinnamon12.5%: Pastel 12.5%: Pewter 12.5%: Spider12.5%: CinnaBee 12.5%: Bumblebee 12.5%: Pewter Bee
So thats 1n8 for each animal, not to shabby of a outcome considering what you may get.
I want to eventually do lessser and ghost but that has to wait a while. What do you guys think about this as a first breeding?? Any input is appreciated guys

As awesome of a first breeding that would be, I always suggest for people to take a step back and get their animals as juveniles. When it really comes down to it, this seems to be just a flash in the pan for many people, and investing in something without all of the knowledge can sometimes be disastrous.

No offense intended just sharing my point of view. Plus in the end the result will be more rewarding knowing that you hand raised and brought both animals up for the purpose of your end-all goal. :gj:
