Good Luck, learn the morphs so you can ask the right questions next time.

anything with bee means you never can be sure whats in it unless someone lists the genes. Bee sometimes means spider, sometimes it means pastel spider, depending on context ^^
Actually WOBP does not have a black pastel + lesser + spider. I even used the calculator to breed a black pastel + pastel + lesser + spider to a normal, they really do not have black pastel + lesser + spider in the database.
so the next closest thing is a cinnamon + lesser + spider:
http://www.worldofballpythons.com/mo...ny-lesser-bee/ <--- only one picture..... not much for a comparison.
for comparison, pastel + butter + spider:
http://www.worldofballpythons.com/mo...le-bee-butter/
and pastel + lesser + spider:
http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/queen-bee/
By the way, the quality of WOBP has gone down dramatically. They used to have an advanced search. Now if you search for a gene, you will not find all BPs containing that gene, there is no way to do it. For example, you cannot find "queen bee" by searching for ANY of the genes it contains. You wont find it when searching for lesser, or for pastel, or for spider, because the tags are missing. With advanced search this used to be easy. So if you dont know that its called queen bee, you have to use the calculator and do a breeding in the calculator that can produce it and need to check the results of the breeding in order to see if WOBP has the morph. Not user-friendly at all, its a total pain, you need to work and fight to extract the data you need.
Thank you. Perfect answer. I'm going to buy her, and ill post pics!

So what you are saying is that breeders who call a Lesser Spider a Lesser Bee, are misrepresenting their animals? :confusd: :rolleyes:

Uh no....
When there's pastel added to a lesser bee(lesser+spider), then it becomes a Queen Bee. People know there's no pastel in a lesser bee.... >__<

I initially didnt know it and its still highly counter-intuitive to me. I think you need to qualify your statement up to "most people know" or "people that have been around for a really long time know".
It would be so cool when "bee" would always and without exceptions mean "pastel spider". Or when people would exclusively say "bumble bee" when referring to pastel spider, and only say things like "lesser bee" when it does not have pastel in it. Lots of linguistic inconsistencies here, and these guarantee two things: Change and confusion. The definitions will shift and change, the confusion will remain until the definitions are consistent. The inconsistencies will cause confusion until they are resolved by shifts in definitions.
EDIT: but then, we have bigger fish to fry right now... check forum section "general herp >> herp broadcast" for some really depressing stuff that we need to digest and respond to as a community.
Re: Pastel vs Black Pastel
But all of the names are like that. For example, stingerbee is an enchi spider. A stinging bumblebee is an enchi pastel spider.
Bumblebee is just pastel spider. Bee doesn't mean the pastel spider nomenclature automatically in the official name.
When people say 'nice bee' in their posts, its often just a shortened version or slang for bumblebee. Has nothing to do with the official names.
