spider x bumblebee=
bumblebee x albino=
bumblebee x pastel=

does it matter if i breed a sibling to his parent?

thanks for the info!!

I would google ball python world genetic wizard and you can figure out those and any other pairing you have in mind.

As for the offspring back to parent, most people do that to prove out a morph, but if there is an underlying problem like a duckbill, eye bulging, reproduction issues, it will amplify those effects. If there is a genetically distant animal available then it is probably best to outcross them rather than inbreeding.

So, if you are looking at breeding a bumble bees back to mom who is a pastel, it is probably better to sell him and buy another or trade to someone to get better genetic diversity.
