Scouring FB and the internet has led Tyler to a ?? sex bumblebee baby for an absolutely ridiculously low price (like, I went and checked it out to make sure it wasn't infested with mites or blind or something) Apparently in honor of Black Friday. Seems to be in good health. He's in love. I think he is beyond caring about the sex or that he "doesn't like yellow" after all!
Shoulda figured :p
Which is just I mean pretty much forget breeding with those! I don't think I'm messing with the controversial spider x spider "curse" my first time

We'll be gently "popping" [hopefully her?] next week before he makes his final decision.
(Tested it out on my spider and it worked after some youtube videos and fumbling, without upsetting him)

IN THE MEANTIME
I will be on the lookout for 2013 reasonably priced female:
Butters (pastel butters, super butters -drools-)
Pastaves
Black mojaves
Black Pewters
Lesser bees

Thanks to you fine folks and your excellent advice.

If I pick anything up in February, (Anyone else going to Arlington?)
I'll be sure to share.

Thanks again for all of your advice! One thing that has always struck me, as a horse-rider and equestrian forum-member particularly, is how GOSHDARNED NICE reptile people are. You guys are great
