Whats up all- I'm fairly new to the ball python world and have a few questions regarding genetics and the difference of sex in breeding. For example: Spider x Pastel = Bumblebee. Now, does the (specific) sex of either the Spider or the Pastel have any significant bearing or influence on the outcome of the clutch? Meaning, if the male is a Spider and the female is the Pastel, would this possibly yield more Bees as to if it were the other way around (male Pastel and female Spider)? Also, in this same scenario, are you more likely(in any of your years of breeding experience) to produce more of a certain type of morph (Spiders or Pastels) than others if the father and mother of the clutch were of a specific sex. I know there are a lot of variables such as "Chance/Luck," but I'm thinking that there has to be some type of Genetics Guru that has been able to figure out a way to really influence (but not guarantee, since that would be somewhat God-like) the outcome of the created morph offspring in relation to its parents' sexes. Thanks in advance.![]()
