    Is a bumblebee a spiderball pythons?

    hi there, i'm looking to adopt a ball python and my choices have come down to 2 sweet boys, one is an albino morph and one is a bumble bee python. I'm concerned because I've seen some people say that SpiderBall Pythons have neurological issues, are all bumble bees spiderball pythons?

    Sorry i'm very new and have no idea about morph genetics.

    I attached some pictures.

    I could be wrong as I'm no where near an expert on morphs, but I believe a bumblebee is a combination of spider and pastel so it's not possible for a bumblebee to not include the spider gene. If it were me I'd go with the albino, what a cutie!!

    That’s a sweet looking pastel spider. They definitely can have health issues. I have 2 adult spiders currently and 4 fresh hatched baby spider morphs.
    I’ve been lucky so far and all of them act totally normal.
    I don’t plan on breeding them any more though.

    The two before me already answered it, but as I'm new myself and learning wanted to give me a couple places to look that have been helpful for me.
    https://ball-pythons.net/forums/foru...-Python-Morphs this is the forums list of morphs for ball pythons.
    http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/? this is helpful for looking up morphs or there is a genetic wizard as well to play around with has helped me wrap my head around it all a bit more.
    http://www.owalreptiles.com/issues.php this is a list of known issues for certain morphs.

    would I need better pictures than this to see if they have mites?

    I don't think you could reliably tell that from pictures. If you have other reptiles at home, it is always a good practice to quarantine new additions.
