Bumble Bee Vs. Killer Bee Please help.

[Highline Reptiles South]

here is the girl in question... I did not make her...

She was a slow starter food wise, but is now eating regularly. She was born in June, so that makes her 5 months old. Dad was a bumble bee. Mom was a pastel.

What do you think and WHY?

thanks!

Almost looks like a humble bee at the back end? Maybe hidden ghost gene? I see what you mean though..bumblebee head, killer bee body...

I know it might be a waste and if there is a "het" in there it wouldnt show but couldnt you pair her with a normal male to break her down to what is in her

yea, because if you have the super pastel gene in there, you should get pastels at the least right? and if you get normals would it be just the pastel gene?

Mike I'm gonna vote bee here, mine looks astonishingly like yours, but this picture is without the flash. She's probably a little bigger and thus darker here though.

No, because (unless I am wrong) pastel is a Co-Dominate gene, which means that even if it is just the pastel gene showing you could get normals and pastels. A pastel x normal pairing would result in both normals and pastels, but the number of each would be based on luck.

[PitOnTheProwl]

a super pastel parent will not have any normals in the clutch.

[Reakt20]

so being that a killer bee is a super pastel spider, there should be no normals if bred to a normal. I'm pretty sure this is correct. im gonna check the gene wizard.

yep, like I thought. a killer bee to a normal will give you 50% bees and 50% pastels.
