    Opinions on this Chocolate clutch?
    Alright, here's the story. We bred our Chocolate male (BHB line) to what we believed was a pretty, dark normal female. The female is one that we purchased as a yearling, but we were told she was CH. I will post pics of her as soon as I can, but she is going into shed so I either need to find old ones or wait til she sheds. The clutch just hatched, and we produced normals, Chocolates, and two unknown very dark hatchlings. Pic one is one of the dark ones next to a Chocolate sibling (known Chocolate on the left):

    Pic two is the other dark baby by itself (she was being camera shy):

    So what are they? To me, they kind of look like Supers. I know these pics are not ideal, and I will get better ones as soon as we have time, but I was pretty excited and wanted to show them off. Of course, they are both girls.

    What do they run? I just know I really like how dark they are so now I'm going to have to try to find one. I'm just curious if they're in my price range.

    I wish I could offer some kind of help but I don't work with any chocolate stuff. If I didn't know any better I'd say the one on the right (really dark one) is a super Chocolate.

    I have hatched Chocolates before, but never Supers, so I am not sure, assuming they are Supers, what they would sell for. I know the baby on the left in the first pic is a Chocolate, and the baby on the right in the first pic and the baby in the second pic are the same morph, whatever they are. The second pic just shows off their flames/blushing better and the first pic is a better comparison to show how dark they are.

    It looks like a Super. The only question here and now is, is your female a Sable or a Chocolate? As they are variations of the same morph as proved by Tim Bailey, it can be questionable if your female is a Sable or Chocolate. The easiest way to find out is if you bred it to a Spider, in order to see if there are lethal animals, but I personally know I'd hate to purposefully try and breed an animal with a 50/50 chance that the combos will be lethal. Pics of mom would definitely help.

    Sable x Spider = lethal? Just asking since I have an import that I think may be a chocolate and I don't want to try that combo if it is actually lethal...

    Nevermind the Sable... I just rewatched the NERD video..... so Chocolates are ok to breed to spider right?

    Chocolates are ok to breed with Spider, yes. They do tend to wobble a little extra as compared to a normal spider, but they aren't lethal like the Sable Spider.
