In that case just pretend the "het" is not in front of the codom gene and its accurate. Thats the one thing i have not figured out about the site. Its fairly self explanitory. Just fill in what each parent is and if there are more then one gene going on like in your case there would be 3 i think. 2 codoms and a het pied gene.

Technically all pastels are heterozygous for the pastel mutation (per the definition of heterozygous - having an unmatched pair of genes) and all spiders so far appear to be heterozygous for the spider gene. If we could get in the habit of thinking of a bumblebee as a double het (both just happen to be visible) it would be a lot easier to figure the breeding results.
