Need help identifying mysterious hatchling
Hi! First of all, english is not my first language (Brazilian living in Buenos Aires, Argentine)
4 years ago I bought a male Spider, a female Pastel and a male Pastel.
Last year I tried breeding my female with both my males with no success.
This year I´ve only bred my females Pastel to my male Spider and everything went great!
10 days ago after 62 days of incubation I got my first clutch. (10 perfect hatchlings)
I know the odds of that pairing (25% Normals, 25% Pastels, 25% Spiders and 25% Bumblebees)
but this is what I got instead.
-2 x normal
-4 x bumblebees
-3 x pastels
And one misterious baby (Hatchling number 4). I have no idea what it is.
Can you guys help me? :confusd:

Re: Need help identifying mysterious hatchling
I may be wrong, but hatchling 4 looks like a super pastel to me... She could have possibly bred with the pastel last time you put them together and retained sperm...

Looks like she retained sperm from your male Pastel last year and you got a Super Pastel out of the clutch. Congrats on your dual sired clutch!

The first pic was taken after the first shed. And the last two pictures were taken a few hours after he/she hatched.
