Killer Bee's

Hi Guys,
For fathers day my daughters got me what I think is a really smokin' mojave boy. So I have decided that my next purchase is going to be a killer bee female to breed him to. My reasoning being that a pairing like that will give me pastels, mojaves,pastjaves, spiders and all combinations of spiders. Thats my thinking. What do all you breeders think and what are high quality Killer bee's going for this year?
Thanks,
Mike Kelly

P.S. - you can see Mojo at my iHerp account - screen name - mfkelly

$2500 to $3000

Yea, I agree with the above post. I just got this Killer male and I gave $2500.https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...nbumblebee.jpg

Hi,

Just a quick point.

Breeding a killerbee to a mojave will not produce mojaves or spiders - since a killerbee is a superpastel everything produced has to have the pastel gene in it. :gj:

Thanks Dr. Del, you are right about using the killer bee, My Bad. And that was actually my point that breeding would produce nothing less than a pastel.
Thanks,
Mike

Bumblebees are always an "ooh" and "ah" snake for those inexperienced with ball pythons. Because of this, a killerbee is always a solid investment in my opinion :)

I think that killer bees are one of the best designer morphs for the money. They are power house breeders now and forever. I would say that if I were going to spend the money to buy a killer bee, I would absolutely get a male. If you have the cash to get a KB, you have the cash to get a female mojave, if that is the pairing you are aiming for. killer bee male is 6x the breeder that a female killer bee is, being that you can breed that bad ass to five or six girls annually at least, producing approximately 30-40 babies, the least of which is a pastel, where a female can only produce one clutch a year, if that. Not to mention that you will be breeding a male a solid year before a female would be ready to breed. Get the male, then get whatever amazing normal and co-dom females you can, and you'll be producing tons of killer combos from that lone power house male. Unless you already have a smokin hot 3-4 combo male breeder or two, spend the cash on the best killer bee you can find.

hmm...if they really are going to 2500 maybe i should pick up the one at my local exotic pet story they have for 2000...

$1,900-$1,500 is the price I've been seeing for killer bees.

NICE!!! dude.. but i would have to say.. if you get a killer bee you also need to get a lesser platinum!!!!! with those two snake you could hatch out the QUEEN BEE!!! and then your on your way to get a killer queen.. which is the quad killer.. it has 4 dif genes.. it is a Lesser + spider + Super pastel ... thats one of the snakes im aiming to get once i get my bumble bee... and a lesser platinum..

Killer bees rock!!

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful animals you have there!

Very nice to see people still in awe over killer bees... there is so much going on they get over looked it seems......I do agree that a male would be better investment than female... plus males get to breeding size sooner so you could start producing sooner

This thread makes me SO jealous, lol...what beautiful animals!

A killerbee, even when bred to a normal, throws 1/2 bumblebees on average.

I need to pick up a super pastel female so I can have a good chance at killers in a couple years...

Very nice snakes guys!

I'm breeding my killerbee to four pastel females this coming year...statistically will produce 1 out of 4 killerbees, provided the odd's gods don't jinx it. :)
