    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

We just proved out some het SK Axanthics, and are thrilled with the results.

We bred our male Pastel 100%het SK Axanthic to our female Spider 100%het SK Axanthic and got eight eggs.

There was an Axanthic Spider in the clutch, so both of the 100%hets proved out to be true hets.

There was also a BumbleBee in this clutch, that I thought for sure was an Axanthic BumbleBee.
I sent pics of it to several friends / breeders to see what they thought.
Many said that it is not an Axanthic Bee, but a very nice high white Bee.

I was convinced that was the case until some others responded, telling me that they believe my Bee is in fact an Axanthic BumbleBee, and this link was provided to me.
http://www.tailsnscales.com/axanthic bumblebee.html

Even though my Bee looks exactly like the one in the link, I am going to wait until it sheds before I make up my mind on this snake.

Either way, I am happy with the outcome.
We also got a really nice BumbleBee 66%het Axanthic, three Pastel 66%het Ax.'s, and two Classic (normal) 66%het Ax.'s in this clutch.

Wow! That thing is gorgeous, and I can't see how it would NOT be an ax!! Congrats!
 
I read your post before looking at the pics, and I was like, "Shouldn't be that hard to tell...." And then I saw the white "Spider" and was like, "What is THAT?!"

Probably won't know until after they have their first shed, but wow, man.... I don't care what that white one is--it's gorgeous!

I agree that it's most likely an Axanthic Bumblebee, but I guess we'll have to wait to see for sure.
 
Cannot wait to see them all after they have shed Rob. I sure wish that you had time to come up buddy!!! We sure miss you guys!!!

Your good friends,
Clark, Nicole, Alivia and Ian Tucker
 
Just imagine if there was a chance for a killer ax bee and that thing poped out... there would be even more what ifs!! that bumble is amazing!
