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

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!

i never realized that there was a shortcut to this! i think the odds would be better with the male pastel though, and i want him anyways, so hopefully there will be lots of super pastels somewhere!

the female pastel is feeding great as of now, eating 2 mice a sitting about once a week. we're gonna start her on ASF's too as soon as the first litter has grown up enough to be a substantial meal.

Advice:
Try to stay away from ASF unless you have a lot in your area. Ball pythons love them, but sometimes wont take anything else once theyre hooked. I have a small colony 1.4 x3...and let me tell you...babies take forever to grow! Babies take a few months just to be a decent size meal vs. a rat that only takes a few weeks. This makes a HUGE difference!

Ya know, at 500 some grams, your pastel girl is plenty big enough for a small rat.

oh i know she's big enough, she's eating 2 mice per sitting. it's just we only have 15 weaned rats who we're growing up right now. we're gonna grow up 2 more females i think so we start producing more. the ASF's are just for my adults to eat, any hatchlings will be started on f/t mice, as they are very readily available for me. just at this rate with 10 snakes eating 2 mice per week give or take, we're spending $88 a month just on mice!
