Bumblebee or Spinner Blast?

[SLove1081]

Hi guys I'm new here. I'm not new to herps, just BP morphs and needed opinions on a recent purchase. I wasn't planning on breeding so I didn't ask very many questions about the parents of the supposed Bumblebee, hence now I'm wondering. But I would like to know just in case I do decide to breed, what I most likely have so I don't have to spend so much time and effort trying to prove it out.

I had purchased the following as a Bumblebee and did notice during the purchase that he had a Pinstripe look to him but thought nothing of it at the time. But now that I took more pics, I do see a very apparent Pinstripe pattern... Could this be a Spinner Blast? Or can BPs sometimes have a Pinstripe-like appearance without it actually being one? I have only ever kept Normals so I'm not very familiar with all patterns just yet... but as far as I can visually tell in most normal patterns, they never have a stripe pattern this apparent. He also has high white sides, which I think you can see in one of the pics. Whatcha think? Could it be a Spinner Blast?

Definitely not a Spinner Blast - he is a good looking bee though! Here's my Spinner Blast for reference:

Bee. No pinstripe anywhere near that animal!
Check out world of ball pythons morph guide, lots of great pictures.

That's a nice looking bee! But not a spinner. Pinstripes are named for the very fine stripes. The stripes on your bee are too thick for a snake with the pinstripe gene, although I do see what you are saying about having something of a pinstripe pattern.

If you follow the link you were given above for WOBP and look up "bumble bee" (use the space on WOBP because for some reason they have it as 2 words), and look at pic #8 of 21, you'll see a snake that has a pattern somewhat similar to yours.

Ok thanks guys. Yeah I did notice his "stripe" pattern was a lot thicker than the other pins I googled. It just made me wonder about the stripes because I don't see many "non-striped" BPs having this pattern. Basically it just made me think there may be some sort of striping gene in there. And yes thanks, I've frequented that site often recently but wanted to ask real human beings. 😁

Brock lesser, that's the reason I'm asking. Again, I'm new to BP morphs. I don't know what the stripes are actually supposed to look like, all I know is mine had a similar pattern. Hence my asking. 😜 I just got to wondering because I don't see any other bees having this striping type of pattern. I'm barely learning the basic morphs, so not sure what's out there.
