If spider is the gene I think it is a Bee x Bee = Killer bees (super form).

Absolutely stunning Kara... well done!!

Not a silly question at all - understanding the different genetic combos behind designer mutations is all part of the learning process.

Bumble Bee = Pastel Spider

Killer Bee = Super Pastel Spider


BTW...Wakefield MA is only about a 40 minute drive from here if you ever want a crash course in BP morphs firsthand. :)

Kara, those are smokin! I'm loving Axanthics more every day!

Kara...those babies SLAY me! I can't wait to see what they look like in all their grown-up glory!

delerium...a "bumble bee" is a pastel/spider. A "killer bee" is a super-pastel/spider.

I think the Axanthic morph has been a "sleeper" until recently, and we're just getting an idea of what the genetic potential here really is. I'm always amazed when people overlook this trait...het axanthics/axanthics are such a no-brainer for a fun project, and I think we're going to see a LOT more demand for them in the future.

Just my $.02...I love Axanthics!!!

:D

thanks to everyone for answering my morph question! my little guy is a normal and he is my first so im still not quite up to speed... but hanging out on this site is helping me a ton!! !
The axanthics are my favorite morphs... the black and white is just so amazing!

:bow: :eyepoppin :worship: Those KB Spiders are incredible, Kara. I can't wait to see pics as they get older. :partyon: Huge congrats to you and Kevin for this season!

The axanthic killer bees moved to my top most fav list and they keep jumping levels!! WAY TO GO KARA!!

This is true... I didn't have a huge interest in the Axanthics until these photos illustrated the gene's potential. Awesome, awesome snakes!

wow the killer bees are just amazing

i'm starting to like axanthics..alot

WOW, amazing...... I can't wait till I can produce something half as cool....

You should SO take Kara up on that offer! You would have the BEST time and I know Kara would be an awesome hostess "with the mostest"!! :banana:

Kara - awesome looking animals!!!! Although I'm still waiting to see the babies you hinted at earlier this week! ;)

Figures.:grabbed:

Kara,

Thanks for posting them so late last night! I'm always anxious to see how Dad has developed (and even more so now!).

Thanks Again! And Happy Birthday!

Adam,

I guess I owe you then... nothing fancy, I know Kelly may not mind, but Holly will!

Thanks Man!

Kara,
That is an awesome Group of project pics. I think way too many people have not spent enough effort on the Axanthic project. Hopefully that will soon change. I plan on mixing mine with evrything. Very stunning animals. By the way, I would love to see an Axanthic Spider, and was wondering if ya'll have a shot atone of those still this year?

Damn you!!!! Made me go look at what you had available and try to crunch some numbers! I won't say which one I like, just in case someone else goes and sees him! Grrrrrrrr!!!!!

Those Killer bee axanthics are just plain ass sweet!!!!:O :O :O


I sure am glad I picked up a het for NERD axanthic!!

monochrome ball pythons = amazing :O:O

if you dont mind me asking a few questions,

what line axanthic does that axanthic pastel come from?

the axanthic pastel, just from breeding axanthic x pastel? or was a super pastel required?
sorry im not up much on my biology.

but once again
those are freakin awsome :groinkick :disbelief

They're all from our line of Axanthic. The Axanthic Pastel was produced from het axanthic to Pastel het axanthic (well, Spi het Ax X Bumble het Ax if you really want to get technical)...the Axanthic trait in ball pythons is recessive, so must be produced from breeding het to het, homozygous to het or homozygous to homozygous.


K~

thanks,
im still a little lost, but ill pm you some questions so i dont hijack your thread..

once again, beautiful snakes!

The ax bees are really cool...but I'm waaay diggin' just the daddy, ax pastel...so much silvery goodness and look at those eyes! Zowie! :eek: :D

i have every intention of taking her up on the offer some day very soon!! Cant pass up something as cool as that oppourtunity!!

Those are just stunning; I love the high-white heads they have!

Kara.....ya know....you should sprinkle some colored confetti around and on those crazy axanthic morphs...so folks can't accuse you of just taking B&W pics!! :P

Everytime i look at them i have to wipe the drool off of my keyboard

ww

What can I say.. Absolutely stunning, Kara..

I'd love to see something like that in person.

Rick

Wow, just... WOW! :tongue2: Man, I love Axanthics... especially diggin the zebra bees! :sweeet:

I would pay to see a Black and white Pied. But I doubt that would work...everything I think of as a great morph cant happen... :|

If im not mistaken...I thought I saw some axanthics het pied around..... could just have bien the albinos het pieds!

Kara - How old is Daddy?

SMOKIN bees! Can't wait to pop some of those out! I should have Pastels het Ax next season and hopefully my female spider will go soon after that... so maybe 2 years or so till I can make an Ax Bee of some sort! CAN'T WAIT!
