    Bumble bee or genetic stripe?

    I'm getting a new female, and I can't decide if I like bumble bees or genetic stripes better. What do you guys think?

    I prefer the genetic stripes over the bumblebees.

    I'd probably go for what ever was a better deal. Both are incredibly awesome snakes. It also depends on the male.

    Genetic stripes are awesome but some tend to be more expensive than bumble bees, so I'm trying to figure out which is more worth their price

    I only have a caramel male right now, I'm thinking of breeding her with different morphs later, cause either way I'm getting the genetic stripe or bumble bee as a baby

    You have a Caramel Albino? You'll have more diversity and personally I think better off with the Bumblebee but a double recessive with the Albino and Stripe would probably be a profitable endeavor. I love the Caramel Albino and the Genetic Stripe but visually I'm not a fan of that particular combo so if I was you I would choose the Bumble Bee, again, just my opinion.

    Re: Bumble bee or genetic stripe?

    I guess it comes down to do you want to work with recessive or dominate/codom traits. Recessives take a lot longer for visual results where don/codom are much faster to play with. Personally I love recessives, however when you look in my snake room 80% of my snakes look pretty normal. Which do you prefer?

    Bee's definitely one of my favs, but I always say g stripes are under appreciated. I vote genetic stripe.
