Hello!
I am very new to ball pythons and this forum. I got my first ball python about 5 months ago. She is a Hypo pastel. Here she is! (about ready to shed)



At first sight I fell in love with the Fire Bee. Now it is my understanding that this is a Fire, Pastel, and Spider and is one of 8 combinations possible. Recently I saw a Fire Spider for sale on BHBreptiles. Am I correct in saying that my Hypo Pastel x Fire Spider will produce a Fire Bee (a 1/8 chance anyways). But because of the Hypo all the children will be Het Ghost?

If I am correct in assuming all this then I would like to ask if this is an ok starting point for a new breeder. I am doing this for the love of it.

Also, what would be an ok price to pay for a fire spider? the one on BHB is $450.

Thanks for any help ahead of time!
