    Oh ok
    Just thought she was something else cause we have a spider and he has no yellow on him.
    She has very nice markings on her like the bubbles on her spine and I'm getting her for 170$

    You're paying the price for a female spider, and not a 3 gene animal. What did the breeder tell you she was? There's absolutely no pastel or butter in her.

    As everyone has said, that's a normal spider.

    definitely not a bumblebee, in no way shape or form a butter spider. sorry.

    If the pairing was Pastel Butter X spider your odds would be:

    1/8 Normal
    1/8 Spider
    1/8 Pastel
    1/8 Butter
    1/8 Bumble Bee
    1/8 Butter Spider
    1/8 Butter Pastel
    1/8 butter pastel spider

    Seeing that the other two genes that went into the parental pairing were co-dominate, neither of those mutations can be carried in a recessive way. You have yourself a spider.

    Cheers

    Yup, spider. They can all vary in looks.

    If you get one of the normals from this breeding and bred it to a normal would you get all normals? Or would that normal carry genes of a spider and maybe atleast one of the babies be a spider?

    No, they would all be normal. Only spiders and spider combos can make spiders because its a dominant trait. Spend a little time playing around with the genetic calculator on www.worldofballpythons.com it will help to learn what makes what.

    Sounds like you are buying a spider female at a spider female price. The breeder may have told you the pairing that produced her, but I would hope did not intimate that she is anything else but a spider. All the morphs involved in the pairing (Spider, Butter, Pastel) are dominant or co-dominant traits. If a dominant or co-dominant trait is in there, you can see it. If you can't see it, it's not there.

    Off?
    You don't take posts off of the forums, it's here FOREVER!! ;)

    As has been said, spiders vary a lot, some have high white, some are low white, some have a lot of orange scales and some have very little orange if any.
    The price your paying is pretty much retail price on a female spider, enjoy, she's nice.
