    New to breeding

    I recently have gotten back into keeping ball pythons and hoping to start breeding them in the future. I picked up a 100% het albino female (2010) the other day and I really wanna pick up a spider and a pastel but I'm not sure which should be the male. Any suggestions on this or anything else would be greatly appreciated.

    Personally I would go with a male spider/female pastel. That way if you do get a male bee out of the pairing you can breed it back to the pastel and possibly get a killer bee sooner than if you had to wait for a female bee to grow up.

    Like Kinra said you could produce a killer-bee quicker if that's what you wanted by getting male spider / female pastel. Then all you need is a butter to get yourself a killer-queen! =)

    That is kinda of the route I am taking... male spinner, female pastel...

    Thanks for the help so far. I wasn't really looking far past the bumble bees but I didn't want to limit my options either .

    I'd get a male spider het albino or a pastel het albino or a pinstripe het albino to take advantage of the het albino gene in the female

    To me that would only make sense if one wanted pastels in most every morph they make

    There is a male albino and female het on kingsnake at a really decent price
