black pastel mojave?

Hi, I would like to verify what morph the following 3 hatchlings are. I've labeled them hatchling #1, #2 and #3 for ease of discussion. They came from a pastel mojave spider x black pastel cross. I was told that #1 is unsure, #2 and #3 is black pastel mojave. I feel that only #3 is black pastel mojave, and #1 and #2 are both mojaves. Please let me know what you think, and thanks for your input!

The following pictures are when they haven't shed yet.

What characteristics make #3 an obvious black pastel mojave compared to the other two?

Is it the grainy donuts?

I'm still new to picking out morphs but I would say the slightly darker color and the way the alien heads are broken up weird is what makes the 3rd an obvious black pastel Mojave. The other two don't have the weird broken up alien heads. Cinnamon does the same to the Mojaves single eye alien heads from what I have noticed.

Those are ridiculously attractive !!

So the 'static' disrupting the typical mojave pattern and the darker color show black pastel mojave. Cool! :carrot:

Thanks guys! I'll be getting #3 in 2 weeks or so, super excited!

Not necessarily static but the way they seem ripped apart and extended down the body. At least I think. Though i am no expert just going off of what I have noticed.

Third one is a pure Mojave.

Why do you say that? It is pretty much classic black pastel/mojave in my opinion.
