    Re: Lesser bee x banana spider?

    In a couple of years I want to try my hand at a little hobby breeding so I've been reading up on the basics of pretty much everything.
    Down the road I'm thinking about maybe putting together a
    Banana x spider pair and hopefully getting banana, spider, normal and banana spider offspring from this hypothetical future pair, if my basic understanding of genetics is correct. From there even further down the road, I'd like to take a Banana spider offspring from this pair and maybe pair it up with a lesser. (i want to first work with dominant and co dominant genes before I start introducing recessives into my lines)
    So from a Banana spider x lesser I'd get the following offspring:
    Normal
    Banana
    Spider
    Lesser
    Banana spider
    Lesser bee
    Banana lesser
    Correct?

    You also have a chance at making Banana Lesserbee .

    However, im considering instead of just pairing with a lesser, finding a nice lesser bee to pair the banana spider to. I'm assuming since both are still dominant/co dominant genes, I'd get a lot of the same morphs that I'd get with a banana spider x lesser, however I'm a little unsure of how accurate my thinking is on this.
    I believe I read somewhere that this pairing would bring about a Banana killer bee or just a killer bee morph? If I'm wrong, what would this pair bring about? Any morphs I'm still unaware of?

    You should stick with the first pairing you mentioned above. 1 - spider x spider will not add anything to you pairing. 2 - jury is still out on the spider x spider being a lethal combo.

    Also, a Killer Bee is a Super Pastel Spider.


    Again, I wouldn't be doing any sort of pairing and breeding at least 2 or 3 years down the road, perhaps even longer. I just find their genetics interesting and id like to get the hang of it so down the road I'm not playing a guessing game.
    My responses in red.
