    A few morph questions
    Hi guys i was wondering what the outcomes of a couple morph breedings would be
    -Lemon pastelXlemon pastel, super lemon pastel?, any name for it if so?

    -lemon pastelXspider, maybe a lighter colored bee??

    and would i get half lemon pastel from a lemon pastelXnormal breeding?

    thanks

    Just a Bee but lemons do make better bees

    Yep each egg would have a 50/50 chance at being a Lemon.

    one thing to bear in mind is lemons are highly variable and some dont hold their colour as well as others, it all depends on the parentage. mine has started to brown out a bit but i saw another users on here that is brighter than mine ever was

    so basically, dont get a lemon unless it looks something completely brighter and deferent from a normal pastel

    I could have sworn the opal ball was the result of a Graziani pastel and a lemon pastel pairing.

    The Opal is the new term for Super Pastel. Doesn't matter what Pastel is used.

    Actually Opal is not new, it was a term used back when Super Pastels were first hatched. It just seems to be making a comeback as of late.

    Well, here's some contrast for you with my lemon and how he's aged:

    These are the first pictures that Adam of 8ballpythons sent me of Winston and said he was going to be a smoker as he grew. I will admit that when I first saw them I went ....um....ok.... (Adam already knows this story).

    http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e9...sjun06-09b.jpg

    http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e9...sjun06-09a.jpg

    Adam says "trust me - he's going to be HOT!" - so, I trusted him. Next pictures I get of Winston are:
    http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e9...on/winston.jpg

    and

    http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e9...winstonJan.jpg

    I still wasn't convinced he was going to be "all that", but then one day Adam and I were talking and he said "wait until you open that box, you are not going to believe how hot Winston is now" (now, Winston was "picked out" in September of '06 but he wasn't shipped until late January of '07 because of my time off limitations).

    So, I open the box and I find this:

    http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e9...OpeningBox.jpg

    oh no - wait - this:
    http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e9...nstonJan14.jpg

    and over the past year, he's gone on to this:
    http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e9...nstonShed7.jpg

    and this
    http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e9...nstonJune5.jpg

    and this
    http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e9...ton/Winny2.jpg

    and my favorites!
    http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e9...tonBreed10.jpg

    http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e9...ndPandora7.jpg

    Bottom line - find a breeder that you trust. I trust Adam implicitly. Despite my initial - "ok, whatever you say, Adam" reaction to Winston's first pictures, I'm glad I trusted my breeder, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my lemon pastel!

    Winston's head is in the back of the picture just peeking up behind her back.
