Killer Bee Piebalds

I've been looking for some pictures of a killer bee piebald, but can't find any. I've seen pictures of spider piebalds, but not killer piebalds. Anyone know where I can find some, or do they just not exist?

gosh I have no clue but I can imagine what that might look like.... and darn you, now i'm contemplating another future breeding project!!! :D

not made yet...
you should get started on the project

i think it will be lame since the bumblebee pieds are 99% white...yes even white on the head they look like paradox black eyed lucies.

so im not waiting to see the thing

I've figured out how to do it, but it'll take me a long time to raise up all those ball pythons and breed them.

I don't think that anyone has tried that combo yet, but I'm interested in seeing what it would look like. I love how the bumble bee pied looks, almost like he's wearing a mask. There's a thread that's lurking around here somewhere that has a pic of a bumble bee pied in it,but I'm having trouble locating it.

I've seen the bumblebee pied. I told my fiance that the killer bee piedbald hasn't been produced yet and I think we are both wanting to give it a try. I'm drawing up the punnets now to see what we'd have to cross and all that if we start from scratch. (Meaning just have a spider, pastel and pied.)

That would take a loooong time, no matter how you go about it. If you have the extra cash, I would go ahead and see if you can find a pastel het pied, a bumble bee, and a pied, that would at least get you somewhat closer than just a spider, pastel, and pied.

Yea it would take ages. Hmm. Now I really want to get down to business making up punnets for this. I'm very interested in trying to produce killer bee pieds.

The end result, your best bet would be to breed a super pastel pied to a bumblebee pied. Buy, beg, or breed to get to those. ;)

Those would be very expensive to buy. I might breed up to them.

damn you, you've discovered my super secret designer project!

Almost, but not really...

I'm planning to try for super pastel pieds, which I believe also have not been done yet. I'm sure someone's going to beat me to it though, 'cause I'm only in my first year of breeding and only have a pastel male and a couple normal females to start with.

I have one het pied and one normal. So you are closer than I am. :D I'm aiming for killer bee pieds but I'd be happy with some super pastel pieds or bumble pieds. Just killers would be nice too. :carrot:

well, getting my het pied pair and have a pastel male on the way.. Im getting somewhere as well :D wanna race?

heck, right now I'd be happy with just a pastel baby... :-D

I should also add, I'm going to try to prove out one of my girl's reduced pattern to go with that combo, so I could be at this a while...

Lady Dragon, you are on! lol. I'm not even close to breeding mine though. They have another two years ahead of them before they breed. Might be interesting to see who gets there first though. :D

i think the killerbee pied has been done...this year if im not wrong

Even if it has, thats what I want to try and achieve. I love pieds, I love killer bees. What better way to bring two of my favorite things together. :carrot:

As long as you understand that it will likely be an almost pure white snake. A pair of lessers, butters, fires or mojaves would produce a snake very very similar in appearance and would take less time and less money.

To me, producing a killer bee pied would be kind of like producing a killer bee black eyed leucy. What would be the point if you really can't see the killer bee in it?

That said, there's nothing wrong with it if that is what you want to do. Imagine the offspring that snake could produce!!!!

No joke. But I love the look of the bumble bee pied though. His face is so orange in contrast to the white, it really looks like he's wearing a pumpkin on it's head!

well then it will be a close race cause all of mine are 07's.. hee hee. we'll see how it goes in two years time then. :carrot: :carrot: :rockon: :carrot: :carrot:

The killer bee is an awesome snake. Probably one of the best looking morphs out there IMO. Why eliminate that pattern with white? But if its a pashion of yours to produce them, then I can understand that.

There was one floating around. Its not svery WOW. No didffrent than the spied, just with a lighter head.

I will agree that the killer bee is an awsome snake and definatly one of my favorites, but I'd like to have the best of both worlds and have a killer bee piebald. I just love that white with a little bit of color. :carrot:

I found the Bumblee Bee Spied. Peter Kahl produced it
