What to breed with my male bumble bee?

I would like to get opinions on what are your faves. Right now I'm thinking a super pastel. Let me know what you think.

I was going to type Super Pastel before I even opened the thread!

Lesser

Even if you breed it to a normal you can't go wrong.

I intend to get one after I've bred off a firefly and a leucistic. I'm gunna breed it to both. Too many chances for too much good in those combos. But anything with pastel genetics would be great crossed with it. And if you breed it with a fire you may get a firefly x spider, which, personally, I would love to see.

Yeah pretty much anything you breed it with will be great. :gj:

What do you have for females?

I would breed that guy to 10 normals!! and a super pastel

Right now the females I have are a mojave and normal. But I'm already going to breed the mojave to my male mojave. Im in this just for a great looking snake for my personal collection.

Lesser a thousand times over. :)

Pinstripe - Pastel - Hypo would be my top 3

Now what would the break down be of the bumble be and a pinstripe?

12.5% Normal
12.5% Pinstripe
12.5% Pastel
12.5% Pastel Pinstripe (lemon blast?)
12.5% Spider
12.5% Spinner
12.5% Bumblebee
12.5% Bumblebee pinstripe (spinner blast?)

Now what about a Pastel Jungle 100% Het. Hypomelanistic? What would I get.

Unless the Bee is het hypo as well you would get:

12,5% Killerbee, 25% Bumblebee, 12,5% Superpastel, 12,5% Spider, 25% Pastel 12,5% Normal

and all would be 66% het hypo

Why would they be 66%? You only get the 66% chance of them being het from breeding 2 hets together (4 outcomes, 1 shows the trait, that leaves you with 3 others that don't, 2 of which are het, 2/3 is 66%). His would be 50% het (1 het, the other not, 4 outcomes, 2 will be het, 2 will not be, 2/4 is 50%)

Id breed it to your normals...If thats what you have...Personally you cant go wrong with anything you breed it to.

Sorry meant to say 50% possible het.

i think you should just skip breeding it and just send it to me!!! i agree that you can't go wrong with breeding this thing even to a normal. but the pinstripe might be a good idea.

I vote pinstripe!

Pinstripe is always a great option.

But I kind of think you should breed to a Fire. Spider Fireflies would be awesome.

I asked the same question in another post. I have a female bumblebee and I am looking to buy a male. According to this post I hear Superpastel and Lesser as the best options. Since I love Lesser Platinums, what are my likely offspring if I breed my female Bumblebee to a Lesser Platinum?

Gary

Ok I've purchased the pinstripe and super pastel. I've been having a hard time finding the lesser that I want, my question is what would the breakdown be of a enchi pastel?

All of the above

Ok, so what do you get with Bumblebee x Lesser?

WOW that's gorgeous. I love how it doesn't have the white sides from the spider too (I'm one of those freaks that actually doesn't like how that looks) I'd sell my leg for that snake

Awesome! I guess my female Bee will have an arranged marriage with a Lesser.

Gary

Get him a blast and a fire female!:gj:

I would double breed to the female Mojave. Put the Bee in let him start then back him up imediately with your male Mojave. You can double up on females with multiple males, trust me it's been done!

completely off topic, but snakedoc, whatever is in your avatar... dang that's sexy.

ok so my turn, and i'm going to be completely contrary here: cinnamon.

how about my female pastel....then my female bee.....then all my crazy normals... then a friends female spider.
