    Male or Female

    So, I'm planning on getting a Killer bee. I'm trying to decide on a male or female. I have a male butter and a female mojave and bumblebee that are in the mix for breeding in the future along with some normals and hets. Going with the female option I would at least at this point go with putting it with the butter and uping chances for a Queen bee. Going with the male I woul have to look at getting some females, pastels butters pinstripes and the like to start. Any thought on what others think would be the best option?

    I would get the male because you can get your queen bee with the butter and bumble bee you already have.

    I would get a male. You can spread his genes to multiple females, where as a female can only have one clutch.

    Re: Male or Female

    Leaning to the male, and also looking for a female super lesser. Any thought about BEL's mojave/lesser/butter mixes? I have a male butter and female mojave that I got with plans on going for a BEL, I'm thinking now that pure ones are better as far as breeding. Not just from a money angle but say a pastel spider mojave, are they wanted as much as a pastel spider lesser?

    Re: Male or Female

    Ok so snakes will vary depending on the quality that they are breed from. I've been looking on KS and have found a couple male Killer bees. Most look like Bumblebees with more blushing on the heads, most from people that sell slot on KS, so I feel ok about what they are but... I found a local breeder that has a female that looks (it's not though) like the killer bee on the NERD site. Just frigging HOT faded almost purplish spider markings. Good price. I can't decide...
