    Identifing YB in combos....
    I just hatched out bee X yb clutch so I have some good clutchmates to use for comparison.

    First pic - spider and a spider yb. Can you see the difference?

    what about in this one? Bumblebee and a Bumble belly.

    They just shed so after I get a couple mice in them I'll post another comparison shot.

    I think I see it. The spider yb and the bumble belly have flames where as a normal spider combo would not. Also, the spider yb is quite a bit brighter :)

    Beautiful hatchlings!

    Yup you got it the flames in the black stripes are from the YB.

    Thanks for the pictures. It is a great comparison. In the first pic it appears the YB Spider is the hatchling whos head is on the right and whos body passes through the coil of the other. In picture 2 it is the hatchling on the right. Correct?

    Yep - the flames give it away..... ;)

    Yeah especially in the spiders there is definitely a difference there but for the bees I do see the flames on the one on the right! Very nice!

    I strugle with yb in combos a lot. Does the bee on the left of this picture have enough flaming to possibly be a bumblebelly? I need to get better pics of her as she is outrageously bright but I don’t have experience with bumblebees to now if they all start out that nice.

    Wow - that one on the left is stunning. Nice and clean and very reduced. I'd be real interested in seeing the belly, the black lines down the sides are pretty solid black with some blushing, but I don't see the flames.

    It almost looks like you have some other gene in play. The head looks vanilla-ish. What is that one on the right?
  • 07-08-2012, 03:24 PM

    These are sisters from chocolate (Garcia line) pastel yb X spider. Consensus is that the one on the right is a chocolate pastel spider yb (her belly pic here).

    http://snakemorphs.com/images/201207...osyb_belly.jpg

    I don't know of anything other than pastel spider and possibly yb that could be in the one on the left and I don't have a belly pic of her handy but will try to get one tonight time permitting. In some ways I like her better than the one on the right but I can’t pass up picking the 4 gene girl as my hold back for her breeding potential.

    Right - I saw your post on the 4 gene combo. Very nice!!

    Here are a couple more shots of a few I've produced in the past. My bee's tend to be pale yellow while anything YB turns bright yellow. And the belly tends to be very telling.

    Bumble's belly - Easy to see it is a yb....

    Can you give a belly picture to the normal bumble bee for comparison. I see the bumble belly it's very obvious on the sides and belly. But I'm just curious how the tummy looks on a bumblebee

    Why don't you start your own topic on it instead of coming on a topic that doesn't relate to what you need? I think you'd get more people that are capable to help you if you started your own topic.

    Here is a belly pic of my questionable yb combo girl of the moment.

    Randy - if you compare it to this guys belly, I would say no it is just a bee. Is the yellow belly you used in that combo really obvious and well marked like your chocolate pastel spider yb? I would expect all the combos with YB to look similar to that awesome 4 gener.

    Bumble's belly -

    Sorry it is takeing so long to get belly pics. Most of them want to bite me constantly right now and it is proving difficult to get belly pics. I'm trying to figure out how to take pictures of them on a sheet of glass so I don't get tagged as much.....

    They're full sisters. Don't think I have a picture of the chocolate pastel yb father's belly. I bet you are right, just a bee. It's just I've never even had one of those before and can't believe how bright and yellow she is. She is also a bitter and hasn’t eaten yet (the chocolate pastel spider yb sister has eaten 3 times already and is getting more yellow and is more mellow, love that girl more all the time). Thanks!
