New pastel combo!!

[IMG]special pastel.jpg[/IMG]

Thought we would share a pic of a new pastel combo our son made a few weeks ago.

He bred his "pet" bumble bee to a female we proved out last year, she was bred to a unproven male that proved out in the same clutch, so we were not sure what she would do on her own...

Well he got 9 eggs : 1.3 pastels, 1.1 bee's, 1.1 of the mothers morph (unamed), and this sweet pastel combo female!!

Not to bad for a 6 year olds first clutch!!!

pic not showing

I see no pic. :confused:

Working on it, my site is down so I cant upload pics like we normally do.

Well we can't have a picture thread with no pics!

You sure you linked the right picture? looks like two darkened out pastels....

Thats her, the mom was a dark animal that made a really nice combo last year, the pastel combo has a ton of blushing on her and looks really different in person..

Looks nothing other than a darker pastel.

I dunno, it has very spider-like qualities to it's sides. Looks 'kinda' different.

The pics do not show it very well but she has a dark/black wash over her , with a bunch of big blushed out areas on her sides. In person she looks really different, the mom was a very suttle morph that made some killer babies, so hopefully she will do the same....

It is really dark for a brand new baby pastel that hasn't had time to brown out yet, and although the picture isn't the best, I can tell that there is quite a bit of blushing going on. Is there such a thing as a really browned out but really blushed pastel? I don't remember seeing one before, so I can easily believe it is a new combo. Perhaps pastel wasn't the best pairing for the really dark mom, but it might be a very exciting combo with some different genes.

Must be SUPER exciting for a 6 year old to get a clutch like that! Congrats to you & your son!

Sweet little girl. I agree you should pair her with a differnt morph

She was produced from breeding a bee with the morph female, because we were hoping for a bee or spider combo, to get the best genetic potential.

The bee/s she produced were excetional too, so at the end of the day we were happy with the pairing, and our son got to make something new, along with more bees.

Well i think its time to show off momma and how about some of er other little ones. You brought it up so now you gotta show them lol. We will see how the little one turns out with time. also im confused, you bred your female to a bee and got more bees? how did that happen. I could see more spiders and/or pastels, but bees?

You can definitely see that blushing/banding going on!

You produce bees as well as pastels, spiders and normals from pairing a bee with a normal.
