    Just like the first answer you got. You will just get more of every snake in those 2 particular combos.

    Pastel
    Super Pastel
    Spider
    Bee
    KillerB

    And IF you get any snakes that do not come out alive those ones are most likely the "super spider"

    This is why many people dont pair up a spider morph to a spider morph. The super version of the spider is a lethal gene combo and they do not survive to hatch. I do not think anyone has ever had one actually hatch out alive yet.


    I was once told that if you fail to learn something new every day you should not have gotten out of bed. You just made it worth me getting out of bed today didn't know that thanks

    Then you would understand that Percentages mean nothing, yes it helps but at the end of it all odds don't mean anything once those eggs hit the ground.

    You can get one of each morph in those 2 combos or you can get all pastels, or all spiders..

    You just dont know when breeding a triple to a double or more. Your percentages & chances of getting a certain thing go up the more eggs you have tho.
    once you get into triple combos most of the percentages are really low like 1-6%

    with that pairing you will never get just a spider one is a super pastel so every snake in the clutch would be atleast a pastel.

    your percentages never go up but your chances do.

    Re: Bumblebee x KillerBee

    Wow...sorry I spelled your name wrong...geez!!!

    Not everyone can be as genetically amazing as you!! And I don't think you should condemm anyone for buying a snake and not knowing the genetics of it. I bought a Bee ......and though I kind of get it...I am sure that I will have questions down the road. Isn't that one of the reasons for site....to help others with questions. Some of us have been in this for all of a minute and a half and maybe ....just maybe we have enough cash to buy what we like. Doesn't mean we are ignorant, or that we don't know what we are doing. I have learned allot from this site and one of the things I LOVE about it is that everyone is so cool and not condesending. I have been to another site where people made me feel like an idiot (and that was clearly not the word I was looking for).....I don't go to that site anymore.

    Geezo...I think you woke up on the wrong side of the hot hide!!

    Re: Bumblebee x KillerBee

    A killerbee x super pastel will produce better results in my opinion:

    50% killerbees
    50% super pastels.

    I have a female killerbee and I will either be going for Super Mojo x killerbee; or Pewter x killer bee - can't decide which but have 2 years to make up my mind!

    Re: Bumblebee x KillerBee

    p.s. my first was a 66% poss het albino male - I thought I could breed that to a normal female and hatch out 66% visual albinos! We all have to start somewhere!!

    25% Bumble Bee
    25% Killer Bee
    12.5% pastel super spider*
    12.5 super pastel super spider*

    * - There is a lot of debate whether the super spider exists, so the percentages could change if it doesn't or stay the same if it does.
    Yep, this is right. I did a pencil/paper Punnett square and got the same thing (assuming no Super Spider):

    1/8 Pastel
    1/8 Super Pastel
    3/8 Bumblebee
    3/8 Killerbee

    No need to get all huffy if someone either doesn't know how to do Punnett squares or has trouble doing it...or if someone likes to see the percentages. I like to see 'em too, if for no other reason than to get an idea of what to expect.

    1.0 VPI Axanthic, 1.0 Genetic Stripe, 1.0 Red Axanthic, 1.0 Lesser Platinum, 1.0 50% Het Albino, 0.1 Albino, 0.1 Het VPI Axanthic, 0.1 Het Red Axanthic, 0.1 Het G-Stripe, 0.1 Woma, 0.1 Mojave, 0.1 Normal.

    i agree 100%
    some good points made. i dont think you have to be SO rude about answering a question like that or just showing someone where they can find the answer. if you dont "want" to help then just leave it alone. they dont know what you know or they wouldn't be asking you. lighten up!

    Just to let you know, there has been no research done on weather or not a homozygous spider is lethal.

    The reason people don't usually pair spider to spider is because there is no visible super form and its time better spent breeding them into combos than each other.

    Personally, i think the homozygous spider can exist (just like the homozygous pinstripe), it just needs to be proved out by a ton of breedings people usually don't feel like doing.
