I say breed for what you want, if you want more albinos breed her to an albino or het albino. I personally want albino spiders in a few years, so I'll breed my spider female to my albino male this year and hopefully get some spider het albino girls I can breed back to my other albino male. Oh and a bee is a pastel spider, killer bee is a super pastel spider. See ya.

If the morph gods are on your side, yes.

If you don't know what a killer bee is or if you don't know what you get from breeding an albino with something else, you should probably spend a great deal of time reading up, Kevin McCurley's Complete Ball Python or VPI's Ball Python book if you can afford it, even Ralph Davis website has a ton of info and its free. You probably want to produce visable phenotypes (animals that look like what they are) and not hets (animals that look normal but carry mutated genes) if you are just starting off, they are much easier to sell, and as a newbie breeder you would lack the credibility with saying your hets are indeed hets. Why would I buy a het from someone I have never heard of vs buying a het from Pete Kahl, Ralph Davis, or others at the same or near the same price.
