"Dirty Bee" Paradox Bumblebee

I have never had a proper photo shoot for this girl and she shed tonight. Here are some pictures of a very unique girl that looks like she has tar smeared on her :P

I've never seen a paradox bee before! She is awesome! :D

that looks really cool.. especially the last picture

That is one healthy bee you have there... and wow her pattern is remarkable. Great looking animal. :gj:

Man when did you get her??

She is a total stunner, very cool paradox!:D

You always have all the cool reptiles:gj:

I got her from Matt (Beardeddragon) last year Tif. Almost a year ago. Ive been trying to get her big enough to breed but she decided to go on strike for a few months. Now she's eating strong again so I'm hopeful. No spin or wobble either. Very minor head vibration right before she strikes a rodent but aside from that she's perfect.

That's one great looking Bee you got there!!!
I really like the color and the contrast and the 'Tarspots' are great!!!

Regards,

Bas

Good lookin bee paradox!

Likes me some paradox

Not to be a goof but is a paradox the same as a wannabee. Looks like the wannabee to me??

The wannabe involves the woma gene....a "paradox" can occur in any morph randomly and is basically patches of normal color interspersed with the mutant color.

ahhh...thank you for the info....good to know!!;) Now how do you know the difference? Is it just a matter of the breeder telling you or are there tell tale signs?

Wow..This snake is beautiful!! Never seen one like this before, awesome snake!!

Monica, she is really cool, awesome snake.

Still looking good! I love that her head and neck looks like it started to be paradox. Whats she weigh now? I know she wasnt that fat before I shipped her :P

Monica send her to me i will get her to eat and then breed with Sampson :P.She is sweet looking :gj:

Well, have you ever seen a bee with black blotches like that? Thats how you tell. You cant breed for it and its not thought to be genetic, though some morphs are more likely to throw paradox, the bee isn't one of them. SO you wont see many if any. Her paradox spots are odd because they do not look like normal BP markings or color. No one knows what causes it.

I like how her head is paradox too. I can see where you got the wannabee idea. She has so many white scales along with the yellow that it almost looks like it. She is simply a spider x a NERD lemon pastel.

Now I remember, her head always made me think that the pastel in her, head blushing, paradoxed through :cool:

she really is quite amazing!!
