    Yes. She's got a nice looking reduced pattern too.

    What do you mean by reduced pattern? I'm looking at getting breeders to pair with my pastel. I'm good with making bumblebees and spiders.... I have a female bumblebee and a normal. Looking for a nice addition to make a desired snake..... Any suggestions?

    without sounding to sarcastic

    by reduced pattern they mean that the pattern on the snake is reduced.

    By reduced pattern I mean that there is less black pattern in that particular snake versus other snakes of the same morph. On the one that you posted, the black webbing is a thin line down the back with only the occasional black web going down the side. There is less of this webbing in yours versus other animals of the same morph.

    Some people like reduced Spiders, some people like busy Spiders (the opposite of reduced), some people like high white Spiders (the white coming up on the sides more), some people like low white Spiders. Occasionally, these traits within a morph will be passed along to the offspring. What I'd do, is take a look at your Pastel - they can be reduced, busy, high yellow, high blushing, etc, etc, etc. Then, decide if a reduced, busy, high white, low white, etc Spider would compliment your Pastel best in terms of being able to produce what you think the best looking Bumble Bee would be when you combine the two.

    I know there's a lot of information. First, you're just trying to learn the morphs. Then, you learn how to combine them. Then, you learn about the nuances within each morph and start learning what you like the best. It's a lot of stuff, but it's fun once you start being able to pick little things out that you notice about your own animals versus other animals that you see.

    I hope this helps!
