    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Dinker female?

I have this "normal" female we purchased from a collector on craigslist who was liquidating his collection. I don't normally do this, however I saw this girl and had to have her. Well, last year we bred her to Bumble Bee & Lesser Platinum males, the Bee had originally been purchased from 8-Ball, however we have no idea where this girl came from. She produced a clutch of 2 Bumble Bees, 1 Spider, 1 Pastel, 1 Normal, and 1 Lesser (she had been bred to a Bumble Bee & Lesser Platinum). Here's where it gets interesting. Not only does she have an odd pattern (I don't know if she's a normal with a reduced pattern or what and if anybody has any ideas, it would be great), but one of the Bees has a pattern similar to triple gene Bumble Bee morphs, at least in my opinion. I have never seen a bee like him, pattern wise, except for some Lesser Bees and types that seem to change the Bee pattern.
We were getting ready for breeding season and I wasn't sure if I should breed her back to the original Bee or another one of our morphs. The baby isn't big enough to breed back to her yet so he's not a choice for a year or so. I attached pictures of her and the Bee baby. I had posted these before, but these are updated. I will have another few more of the baby Bee in a few days once he's shed. Thanks for any help/ideas/thoughts anybody else has!

Looks like a nice reduced pattern girl and made a high white great looking bee. Could be wrong but that's why you should breed to a visual recessive to see if babies truly take after mom.
 
Might try that. We have several recessive males that we need het girls for. Last year I had no idea what I was doing as far as pairing goes. I just figured, "Hey, I could have more Bees!" Like I said, I have no idea if she's a dinker, or just a nice snake that got lucky and produced a really7 nice baby. Thanks!
 
she is very pretty :) but I dont see any difference in the bee from any other bee? I love its head pattern tho :p congrats on the hottie
 
I just haven't seen many with a completely full stripe down the back, but again, I'm new. Hopefully he passes his awesome pattern along in the future. I'd love to see more full stripe Bees or Bees that are completely striped. I may try to make that part of my lifetime goal; that and to breed out wobble (which I'm sure has been tried but hey I can try, it'll just make sure I have healthy snakes :) ) Thanks guys!
