Yeah, on closer inspection, I think bottom middle probably doesn't have the spider gene. That's what I get for answering too quickly. I think I was focused in on whether or not it was pastel vs super pastel (perhaps because of this thread: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...-are-these-two ) and sorta forgot to consider whether it was spider/pin/spinner. Thank you Hooblah for not being a sheeple!
As far as the naming question... I think WOBP is inconsistent, but that isn't entirely their fault. There is something of a tradition that the first person to hatch out a new combo gets to name it, and of course when you have a big number of people naming things, it isn't totally consistent. I think of "killer" as meaning "super pastel". Although it isn't 100% consistent, most of the names on WOBP that have "killer" in them either don't contain spider in the gene mix, or contain something additional in the name to indicate spider. A killer clown is a super pastel clown, not a super pastel spider clown. A killer axanthic bee does contain spider... but the "bee" part of the name indicates that. So, super blast and killer blast are synonymous in my opinion.
Ah, very good points . My definition is flawed haha. My buddies know what I mean, but I'll stick to conventional names for forum posting lol.
