    Just bought these two, female bumble bee and male lesser cinnamon
    Wondering what their technical name is? I was trying to do research on them and found there's multiple varieties of them.... They are both two years old. The male is a rescue from a pet store and the female is from a friend. Letting them settle in before I work on socializing

    Maybe it's just the lighting of the photo (or just me), but the first snake looks like a spider, not a bumblebee. Are you wanting the technical name for their species, or their morphs?

    I can take a better picture of her in a bit. She doesn't look like a bumble bee to me from the pictures I've seen...

    Both? What's the difference? Sorry, I'm trying to learn! It's very confusing to me. Do the different patterns have different names?

    Yes, each different color/pattern is a gene or "morph". For example, cinnamon is one morph and enchi is another. Cinnamon enchi means that the snake has both genes or "morphs". Hopefully someone else will reply and explain this better than I am!
    The technical name for a ball, or royal Python is P. Regius. I don't know of any technical names for morphs.

    P. Regius is the species of snake, and bumblebee is the color and pattern the snake has.
    Bumblebee, cinnamon, pastel, and all of the other morphs are the same species.

    That definitely doesn't look like a bumblebee to me. I'd say spider

    I know what you mean lol

    I didn't think she was a bumble bee! She doesn't look like one. I'll look into spider colors!

    The lighting isn't the best, but I'm seeing a Honey Bee (Ghost Spider).

    Doesn't look like a plain ol spider, to me at least.

    Looks like a honey bee. I'm not 100% sure but it isn't a normal spider.

    This is a honey bee we produced last year.

    They were in their own enclosure but same person owned them. They are still in separate containers. Is that what you mean by quarantine?

    She doesn't look anything like a normal spider to me at all. I'm trying to get better lighting pictures

    She's not quite that yellow but she's not brown either. She's between tan and yellow if that makes sense
    Do they get lighter as they shed?

    Thank you! I already love them! My friend got the lesser cinnamon from a pet store, he was kinda a rescue . He wouldn't eat there and was super pissy. He was still pissy with her but him and I clicked if that makes sense. He doesn't hiss at me and loves just looking at me. It feels kinda weird to say that about a snake. The spider is shy but very very sweet! I knew nothing other than the absolute basic so I'm excited to learn!
