thanks for all the comments to answer your question Frost the pairing was a Bumblebee male to a normal female the bumblebee Morph is made up of two co dominant genes.. Spider and pastel so you could get pastels, spiders, bee's and normals from the pairing..the normal looking babies are just that and would not carry hidden genetics ..if it were say and albino x normal..Albino is a simple recessive gene you would only get normal looking babies but they would carry the albino genetics which would make them het for albino you would then need to have either a visual albino and a het albino or two het albino's to make a visual albino

My main sugestion would get breeding your females to males, lesbians can be hot but unless your snakes turn out parthenogenic you won't get many babies.

Depends what you want, if you get normal co-dom males like spiders you will get 50:50 spider/normals. Id you get stuff like bees who are spiderXpastel you will get 25% normal 25% spider 25% pastel and 25% bees. If you invest and get a bee who is a super pastel (I suck at BPs someone name the morph for me) you will get 50% pastels and 50% bees.
