    Id go for queen bees first personally. And then when you have one of them, try and shoot for BELs. Or spider/pastel BEL's. A pastel BEL would be even whiter i would think!

    Idk, as nice as an all white snake is, i personally just prefer a lil bit of pattern somewhere. Like the yellow splotches on BlackEL's. Or high white pieds. Stuff like that. Just personal preference though i guess. Go with whatever YOU wanna make first more doolittle!

    I want both, but I would like a queen first. Little doolittle and daddy want BEL. I don't have a male to make queens yet. And don't really want to buy another, because we are male heavy anyhow. Hmph. That's why I was contemplating getting rid of mojo for a lesser. But what's this spider pastel BEL you speak of????? I can make a BEL that way somehow? That might make my decision easier..... Go on, I'm listening.

    Breeding quality? My 0.1 bumblebee, 0.1 butter, 1.0 enchi. Those three are nice. My 1.0 mojo is mid grade I would say. I have definately seen better, then again, he started out as a pet, so I wasn't looking for quality. And 1.1 pastels, my male is really browned out. ( but just an absolute doll). My female is midgrade. She wasn't the best to start, looked like she was browning out, but I swear lately when I look at her she is looking a bit better than she did awhile ago. And 1.0 normal. We got all those guys when they were "just pets".

    I think he meant if you make a queenbee you can breed it to the butter and make a bumblebee BEL, or pastel BEL or spider BEL.
    Our butter/lesser BEL is so white there's no way I could tell if other genes are hidden in it, I'm assuming the same would be with most any butter/lesser BEL that has other genes in it.

    Dang, that might be my answer. Thanks. So maybe I'm back to get rid of my mojo, and get a nice pastel lesser.

    A pastel butter male is what i would get. Put him to your bee and your butter and you'll get Queenbees (or super pastel butter spiders) and pastel BELs. Theres a possibility of bug eyes but i personally would take the risk. Bug eyes arent as big of a deal as other genetic defects imo.

    I wouldnt get a pastel lesser. If you make a butter/lesser BEL then breed it how will you tell the difference between the offspring? Thats why i wouldnt do it personally.

    Id sell the mojo male too. And id pair the enchi with the pastel to make pastel enchis!!!

    What about under a blacklight?

    And how do you sell offspring of that BEL? Like how do you tell the difference between the butters an lessers?

    I thought about that. But am kind of on the fence about breeding her since she's not outstanding.

    I'm so glad you guys are here to help! . Thanks, think I know what I'm going to do.

    My pastel girl isnt "outstanding" but outta ten id give her a solid 6 or 7. Uglier pastels can throw hot babies. I say go for it unless shes really browned out. Plus your enchi is a really hot example of the morph so thatll help the babies cause!

    Edit: whatta you gunna do???
