    Queenbee or lesserbee

    Hi all!
    I have recently purchased my first ball python and absolutely love her. When I got her she was listed as a lesserbee, but I think she is a Queenbee. Is there anyway anyone can tell me the difference in looks? I know the parents were a Queenspin and a normal and I know the genetics could make either one. I know the breeder knows more than me about it but I still wonder. I'm going to try and post a picture of her. Her name is stormborn

    The head looks pretty light but it's hard to tell from the pics I think it's a queen bee

    if I only saw a picture of this python and no parents listed I would say it is a Queenbee .. could be a very clean Lesserbee though .. I guess the breeder couldn't be 100% sure either so he was forced to sell her as a Lesserbee .. I guess you will have to wait for the babies to know for sure

    Re: Queenbee or lesserbee

    I haven't produced anything yet, so take me with a grain of salt. But am I the only one thinking lesser bee?
    If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.
