Ball Python.. PastelXSpider

[CornSnakes556]

Hey guys,

Just wondering since the Pastel is Co-Dominate, what would I get when I breed my male Pastel to my female Spider BP? I already know Bumblebee's BUT will there be a percentage of Pastels or Spiders in the clutch? Or just Bumblebee's?

Thanks!!

I suck at explaining how genetics work, but I think this bp breeder in Canada has a great pictorial explanation: http://www.ballpython.ca/genetics.html

RDR's is a bit more complex as well as written in classic RDR "raw" style of writing. =)

awesome!! Thanks so much, now I have a Pastel Male, a Normal Female and a pair of Spider's. Would would be my best bet in breeding?

You will get:

25% normals
25% pastels
25% spiders
25% bees

In a theoretical perfect world that is... lol

LOL and I would get the

25% normals
25% pastels
25% spiders
25% bees

If I breed the Pastel to the Spider?

Pastel is co-dominant, Spider is dominant...

So Pastel x Spider = Normals, Spiders, Pastels & Bumble Bees

Personally I would go after Bee's and use that Normal female to produce more Spiders.

Sounds like a plan!! I will let you guys know how we make out!!

Thank You!
