finally decided on the end-goal of my first breeding project...KILLERBEES!

[SquamishSerpents]

my boyfriend has an 800+ gram male spider, and i have a 500+ gram female pastel. which will make BUMBLEBEES! i have an adult male pastel coming to me on monday, and when bred with my female will make SUPER PASTELS!! so when those future beauties are all growed up, they will in turn make KILLERBEES! this is my first project i have fully decided on. and being the first few BP's we've got (aside from the new het.albinos) i think we have some damn good ingredients for a first breeding project

just a little excitement i had to dump somewhere...

awesome! good for you and good luck!

Well, for right now you should focus on getting your female to the right weight for breeding, which should take quite some time. All in all, it would be very rewarding. Though, if yout female isn't that large but is the correct weight for breeding, you will most likely not have as many eggs and you may never know what can be in the eggs until you cut or until they hatch and there could be the Bumble bee, or there could be no Bumble bee but only Pastels and Spiders. Never know what to expect.

oh i know this is going to be a long, long conquest. i don't plan on breeding my female pastel until she's at LEAST 1500grams. it will be very rewarding! i'm glad to finally have set my sights on something attainable, even if it's going to take me years. killerbees are one of my FAVORITE morphs, as are spiders. so i'm pleased to be working with some of my favorites.

Your breeding plan has the same end goal as mine! Good luck with your project, waiting is so hard but it makes it all the more worth it when the time comes.

GOOD LUCK!

pfff waiting is okay! i have a freakin nikon D90 and a sigma macro lens...every little feed is a fantastic photo op! so yes, waiting will be long and hard but, with the opportunity of photos every single feeding, it will be all the less painful! who knows, i might even make some $$ if i sell some prints!

What the hell kind of kill-joy comment was that?

Good luck on your Killerbees, no matter what it takes!

[SquamishSerpents]

haha i agree about the killjoy...though my joy is not killed! i'm definitely determined about the killerbees, it's not like i have anything better to do, i have all the time in the world, and i'm a photographer, might as well watch these pups grow up, and document it with lots and lots of photos!!!! for everyone on BP.net to enjoy!

Good luck with your PROJECTS!!!! I have another idea that you could do aswell. Maybe you could breed your boyfriends spider male to your pastel. If you have a bumblebee male you can breed him back to his mother.
Then youd have a shot at making:
Killerbees
Super Pastels
Pastels
spiders
and of course normals.
(you really dont need the adult male pastel, he'll just slow you down)


Good luck whichever road you choose!
