So here's what I'm pondering.... Thoughts???

[DooLittle]

So when we got our first bps, they were strictly for pets. We got a mojave off CL, he was initially just for fun. Then I started seeing some cool snakes I liked, and decided it would be fun, and probably cheaper to breed and make my own. So I got a butter, because I want a BEL. Well now, there are some other things I would like to make as well. I was thinking about getting rid of my mojave, and getting a pastave maybe. But I also would like to make a queen bee. So, since butter and lesser are basically the same, if I hold back a male butter (once my butter is ready to go) could I breed him to my bumble bee and get a queen bee? Or would that be something different? Other thing I am pondering, is getting a lesser male. Then I know I can shoot for queen bee. But, as far as BEL, lesser x butter will still make that? But would that produce bug eyes? Doesn't mojo x butter make cleaner BEL? Hmmmm, what to do. Thoughts anyone?

I think you could call it that, they look pretty much the same. I mean if you were selling the hatchlings, supposing you produced more than one, than I guess you should specify that it is a queenbee from a butter.

So what do you think about the BEL, better mojo x butter, or lesser x butter? Because honestly I think I am leaning towards getting a male lesser. Found a nice pastel lesser just a moment ago......

I like mojos and pretty much all their combos and I think lesserxmojos are pretty nice. The butter/lesser BELs do the bug eye thing right? I personally wouldnt do it because of the bug eye thing. I know it is only cosmetic and doesnt affect the way they function but I think they look comical and I dont like to look at a snake and be amused by how funny it looks I like to be amazed by how beautiful it is. Does the bug eye thing happen 100% of the time or is it like kinking in super cinnies where its a possibility but may or may not happen? I think you need to do what you think fits into your plans better. If thats selling your mojo male and getting a lesser to replace him than do it.

Hmm. Maybe I keep my mojo, and just buy a queen bee. I don't know if I have the patience to wait that long for one anyhow, lol..... Darn you SnakesRkewl!!!!!! What I didn't know wouldn't have hurt me, but no, he posts a gorgeous queen bee. Then Kaorte makes it worse with hers.......:p

I might be wrong buy I think butter x pastel x spider is called a butter bumble bee, and lesser x pastel x spider is the queen bee. They look very similar(I say they are the same just different lines). I would do butter x mojo for bel(or lesser x mojo) since I think they produce the whitest bels

[snakesRkewl]

butter pastel spider is the same thing as a lesser pastel spider, they are both queenbee's.

I'll take the blame

Pastel lesser...hmmm, you mean one of these...


Personally I'd shoot for queenbee's and not super butter/lessers even though I did the pairing last year, I won't again...


I am a horrible tease aren't I

Thanks, you can do it just make sure you are picky, quality means everything in the hobby

Yeah, would be nice to get one from my bumblebee, I think she's nice. My butter also is nice, so if she gave me a nice male.... That's just means I am a few years away from a queen. My bee won't even be ready till next year, and she is going to my enchi first, my butter to...., then maybe if I get a male butter, the next year. Patience, must have patience......
