    Personally, I would choose the Bumble bee. It's a 2 gene snake vs the 1 gene yellowbelly. It gives you a more ideal offspring odds IMO.

    Although quality of the snakes should also be considered. If it's a really ugly bee compared to a really high quality YB, I would probably then choose the YB.

    Or, why not pair your spinnerblast to both females?

    I'd have to see pictures of them in order to give the best reply. Any way you could post pictures of the snakes you are questioning? Quality counts in my opinion. It also depends on what your plans are.

    Basically what I wanna do is keep the females and sell the males from the clutch. These are the pictures but I don't have pics from the jungle pastel

    I would say the bumblebee without a doubt and don't sell all of the males if you plan on cost effectively building a collection. I'm confused by the pastel jungle since I only know of 3 main lines of pastel and I thought the jungle got dropped. There is pastel, lemon pastel and blonde pastel that I know of. Your pairing with the bumblebee though could still give you a pastel plus many more good choices and I would guess that the bumblebee in the picture could produce a nice pastel.

    Am I missing something, or are we completely overlooking the fact that Spinnerblast x Bumblebee is a Spider x Spider pairing? Besides the offspring viability issues (which should not be overlooked), the OP would only be gaining a Pastel gene from the pairing, which means there is no advantage to this 2-gene female at all.

    Since the male already has Pastel in the Spinnerblast (and I won't do Spider x Spider), I'd go with the YB.
