    Morph ID anyone?

    Hi All,

    Been lurking on the forums and have learnt lots on BPs... Especially helpful since I had previously only kept a Hogg Island boa. However the sheer number of morphs are still pretty confusing for a newbie.

    Would appreciate it if I could get some help identifying the morph in the pic attached. I know it's a poor shot but it's the only picture I have. Also, would appreciate your opinions on which of the four specimens would have the best chance of growing into a bright yellow adult.

    Thanks for your help in advance and looking forward to your opinions/comments.

    Those are bumble bees hard to tell quality from the pic though. but the far left one looks the nicest to me.

    With anything pastel, the lighter yellow they are as babies, the best chance of retaining their yellow as adults

    Bumble Bees (pastel x spider)
    The best one is the far left in my opinion.

    Bumblebees don't grow into a "brighter adult." I think they're pretty much the yellowest they will be when they're babies and eventually lose their colors. I mean I've seen some pretty nifty looking adults but none are as bright as they were when they're babies. To be honest all four of those babies look really dark...

    Re: Morph ID anyone?

    Personally I find pastels to be disappointing, they seem to lose most of their wow factor, more so than other morphs. In MY opinion. That's why I have no interest in pastel + spider bees, really.

    Now a fire bee (pastel fire spider) would make a much nicer adult.
