    Bumblebee x Het Hypo Clutch Hatching
    I bred my orange hypo and bumblebee males to one of my female het hypos earlier this year. The bumblebee's father had a 50% chance at being het hypo, so I've been trying to see if I can beat the odds and prove him out. I have had 13 eggs from him paired to het girls so far, with zero hypos. Anyway, this female het hypo laid 7 eggs on 4/16. The other night at day 48, the first egg had pipped with a little bumblebee poking his head out, so I cut the rest of the eggs the next afternoon to find 3 spiders, 2 pastels, and a normal. Last night, the bumblebee had come fully out of the egg, so I washed and sexed him. This morning, one of the spiders (another male) had come out to join him. I'm hoping the rest of the babies in the eggs are females since I only got one bumblebee, but we'll see if I get so lucky. I'll post photos of the rest as they emerge from their eggs.

    Last spider came out. It's a boy. I like how the breaks in the back pattern about halfway down his back give him a couple "tiger stripes" haha. Not quite the 5 females I was hoping for, but I'm still pleased with what I got.
