Normal with striped belly?
I bought a Normal female that was already gravid, the guy I bought her from said he bred her to a Spider. Out of the 6 eggs, they were 2 Spiders, 2 Normals, and then these 2 that have parallel stripes (one on each side of the belly) that run down the side of their belly. The other 2 Normals have a belly that you would think a Normal would have. These aren't the best pics but you can kind of see the odd belly on one of them. Has anyone hatch Normals like this before?
The 2 "weird" ones next to each other

Both are females, but one of the Spiders is a male, so maybe it'd wortth it to bred him to mom next year.
Re: Normal with striped belly?
Interesting belly, but not the same as het pied markers. I'd definitely hold it back though.

Thats what I thought too. And also one is goldish in color and has a couple places on her that are blushing. Ever since they hatched a few weeks ago, I've been searching for a picture that looks like them. The closest I can find that looked similar was a Specter. Now I have a couple years to decide what to breed them too.
Took this today (with flash)...Odd ones on the outside, Normal in the middle.

The mom is just a Normal and the dad just looked like a nice Spider to me, thats why I'm confused on where these came from...

I did not produce him. As of right now he is a normal until I breed him and find out if he is genetic.

A dinker is a genetically unproven oddball. Here are a couple more pics of him

Re: Normal with striped belly?
Interesting that just popped up in a normal x spider clutch. I also have a dinker with the same belly (she's going with our yellowbelly next season ;)). Plus BOTH my het clowns have this same belly pattern and are almost desert-like in coloration. It might be worth holding on to them as a dinker project.

Re: Normal with striped belly?
Its interesting that so many of us have animals that look so similar. I'm definitely keeping the two females. But the two Spiders kind of have a reduced pattern, I might have to hang on to those too, just in case they have something going on with them that I'm unable to see.
Re: Normal with striped belly?
I thought thats what most normals looked like? lol I have 1 like that
what does a normal's normal belly look like?

Well I agree they aren't SUPER crazy looking however normal to me would have a more "messy" or speckled look. So I'm interested to see how these play out, if its just a belly trait that doesn't do anything or if it is a marker for something else.
Re: Normal with striped belly?
Looks like he might be a harlequin wide stripe. I have a few and they have the striped back and the striped belly as well. Breed it to a normal and if around 50% of the offspring hatch with the same striping then that's what it is.

I also agree with what you are saying, they look pretty normal but have "different" bellies. Take all the Yellowbelly, Fire, and Specters of the world and look what they do. They are all very subtle morphs and can be hard to pick out from the Normal next to it at times. Maybe two need to be bred together and see what happens, only time will time...
