    SUPER Pastel vs Pastel

    I own a female spider and plan on producing bumblebees in the future, then hopefully killer bees.
    my question is, will the off spring of the super pastel x spider look better than a regular pastel x spider cross
    which bumble bee will look better?
    thanks

    No. It will only increase the chances of getting bees. Good looking snakes make more good looking snakes. The number of genes a snake has does not matter.

    The difference in those pairings isn't a matter of whether one will produce better looking babies than the other. With the super pastel, you will not see any normals from that breeding. Every hatchling will carry the pastel gene, so they will all be at least pastel (pastels and bees only). A pastel to spider pairing could produce some normals, some pastels, some spiders and some bees...

    Re: SUPER Pastel vs Pastel

    depends on the individual snake, it being a super doesn't make the offspring look any better vs another snake. The super will however double your chances at bumblebees. A high quality pastel will make better looking offspring than a low quality super pastel.
