Queenbee x Normal clutch babies - please help confirm

[Hojko]

Hello everyone,

the first 2015 clutch has hatched about 20 days ago, it was a Queen bee male (butter, not lesser) with a normal female. The female was sold to me as Tiger (desert enchi), but I just couldn't see it in her and considered her to be a normal. I knew about the desert gene fertility issues, therefore the fact that she laid fertile eggs just "confirmed" the fact that she wasn't a Tiger morph. But then some of the babies look a bit differently to those that could have hatched based on the WoB pictures.

Nevertheless, since I have not hatched most of these morphs before, I'd like to request assistance in clarifying/confirming which morph is which. The photos have not been altered in any way.

1. Would this be a Butter Pastel or just a Butter? The dark color is really, hm, dark ...



2. Again, Butter or Butter Pastel? Definitely looks different to the one above.



3. Normal? There's quite a lot of yellow in ...



4. Queen bee? The other option would be a bumble bee



5. Another Queen bee or a bumble bee, this one seems more like a bumble bee



6. Spider, but it looks a bit too light



Thank you in advance for your assistance!

So they sold you the female as a Desert Enchi and it didn't even have Enchi in it... Curious, why did you buy it?

thank you all for your responses, much appreciated guess I can be quite happy with the odds then

to answer your question, I was buying the whole collection off of one man early 2015 (hence the later hatch date due to quarantine etc), which included (among others) a big Pewter lady (little ones should be coming out of the eggs very soon, so probably another thread incoming), Crystal male etc., it was the "you buy it all or you leave it" kind of a situation, so I've decided to buy them all, knowing that the "Tiger" is most likely a normal

I see. Well then lucky you for getting eggs from a collection you recently acquired
