    First Clutch - Could you help me ID Morph?
    After 61 days our clutch of 7 produced 6 hatchlings! The female maternally incubated them. #7 looks healthy but seems to be comfortable in its egg (head showing) and hasn't come out yet.

    The mom/female is a spider and the dad/male is a pastel.


    Could people help me identify who is who? The like pink ones are amazing looking and look nothing like mom or dad. I believe the spiders have the "pixels" on the sides towards their bellies. I'm a bit confused on which are pastels and/or normals.

    I don't know who is more excited, me or my 10 year old daughter!

    Could I get some help identifying them?

    The pink will turn white. The two really pink ones I believe are bumble bees, the last one is a spider, the rest look like normals. I see no straight pastel. Congrats!

    They do seem light, I figured it was due to not shedding but since there are no straight pastel you could be right about the parents. :)

    Number 7 of 7 came out after mom was taken off the clutch. It looks like I got my straight pastel... right?

    (Looks like Dad.)

    I see no pastel. I believe the last one to be a lesser. I'm pretty sure the pink ones are lesser bees. Beautiful clutch!

    Ah ha! OK you guys might be right. I think I do remember the term "lesser" being thrown around at the Tampa herp show 4-5 years ago when we bought him.

    Can you take a look at the pics of mom and dad that I posted right after you both replied and give me your final jeopardy answer...?

    The Butter and Lesser pics I find online as so similar. I think I remember "Lesser" being what Dad was.

    Thank you!
