Spider x Black Pastel x Pastel and Temperatures

[RR - Mackenzie]

Hi,

I'm talking to my friend, Julee, who I will be breeding ball pythons with in six years

She had a few good question.

1. If Black Pastel x Pastel is a Pewter, and a Spider x Pastel is a BumbleBee, could I breed a male Black Pastel and Spider to a female Pastel and get BumbleBees and Pewters?

I used the World of Ball Python's Genetic Wizard, and this is what came out:

(I selected male Spider and Black Pastel, but it turned it into a BlackBee).
MALE: Black Bee
FEMALE: Pastel

12.5%: Normal
12.5%: Pastel
12.5%: Black Pastel
12.5%: Black Pastel, Pastel
12.5%: Spider
12.5%: Spider, Pastel
12.5%: Black Pastel, Spider
12.5%: Black Pastel, Spider, Pastel

2. I know that some lizard's eggs, if incubated at a certain temperature, can hatch out specificly males or females. Is that true for ball pythons? And, if it is true, what temperature for males, and what temperature for females?

I was thinking that this isn't true, since most people that want females can luck out. I just wanted to know

Thanks,
~ Mac

Hi,


No I don't think so - each egg can only have one male and one female parent.

You could get black bees and bumblebees, spiders, black pastels, pastels and normals from the multi-sire clutch but never any combinations involving genes from both males.

**edit**

Hang on I completely got the male and female mixed up.

with a female pastel and male black pastels and spider then yes you can get;

Black pewters, bumblebees, spiders, pastels, black pastels and normals.

But no blackbees would be possible.

**end edit**

And nobody has ever found any evidence that sex is linked to the temps of the eggs I'm afraid - I wish it was.

Black pastel x Spider will get you Black Bees

Black Pastel x Cinnamon wll give you black pewters

Incubation temps dont play a role on sex with snakes.

Hi,

Black Pastel x Cinnamon wll give you black pewters

Actually that gives you an 8ball.

Hi,

Thanks everyone!

How much would a Black Bee and Black Pewter cost?

What are you doing?
Planning 6 years ahead?
The plans you have right now I'll bet in 6 years will change completely.
Never have plans 6 years ahead unless you are getting for sure or already have the animals to produce what you wanna produce.

All I'm trying to say is in 6 years do you really think you'll want a Black Pastel and Pastel and Spider? Most likely not?

Not to sure if others on this site plan 6 years ahead but it's just my opinion.
The maximum I ever plan ahead is around 1 ; 1 1/2.

Hi,

I will actually be getting a few morphs at the end of the year to raise, and I will be breeding them. I'll be getting them at the end of the year at the Columbus reptile show for sure, but I won't be breeding them right now. And I do have a tendancy to plan ahead. But I feel it helps a lot

Yes i know but dont forget the pastel mixed in with the black pastel.

cinny x cinny
black pastel x cinny
black pastel x black pastel all equal the 8ball

but mixing the black pastel x cinny will give the black pewter as wel

a black pastel doesnt have pastel in it. black pewter is black pastel x pastel

a black pastel doesnt have pastel in it. black pewter is black pastel x pastel

You are right a black pastel is close to the cinnimon pastel, now reffered to as a cinnimon, the pastel reference has been dropped with the cinnimon..no pastel gene is present..as far as I am aware..a black pewter is a bp x pastel..the enchi is the same, reffered to as an enchi pastel but should really be called an enchi as no pastel gene is present unless mated with the pastel gene then you would have a pastel enchi
