ID help

Okay parents are a Mojave x spider and out of 4 eggs only 2 hatched

Now one is just a regular spider and the other is meant to be a Mojave spider but it looks a little different.
Here's a pic of the parents

Then the two hatchlings

Now someone said that my Mojave looks like a mystic or that the spider has something going on with it ?
Any help would be great :)

I think it looks more like a mojave spinner than a mojave spider. I could be wrong but the head is pretty light as well as the back lacking the darker dorsal like spiders have

Can't be a spinner if u look at the parents. She wasn't bred to anything else apart from a normal last year

I see the parents but bounce the WOBP as spider/mojave and Pinstripe/mojave and tell me which you would choose...

I say Mojave Spider. Not just based on the parents but that is a huge part of my opinion. It looks very brightly colored, are the pictures edited at all? I spent a few minutes searching sites and this one looks like yours might when it gets older: http://www.vmsherp.com/ImagePages/Ba...javeSpider.htm

The "dots" in the pattern are more characteristic in the pictures I've seen then having the black pattern down the spine on a Mojave Spider. The pattern is also rather thick (compared to Pinstripe)which makes me think spider too. You might have lucked out and got a pretty nice Mojave Spider with an interesting pattern though. The only thing is just the lack of pattern on the spine but like I said I've seen pics of a few of them that lack it just like yours.

If you look at Enchi Mojave Spider it looks an awful lot like what you have. The head patterns on yours definitely look enchi.

If you didn t have temperature issues during incubation, i will say this is not just a mojave spider. Something else is going on.
Keep that odd snake and dink it. I don t see enchi in it. I hope it s a boy ....

Congrats and good luck.

Definitely is an oddball...That spider baby looks interesting too, could you post more pics of it? These are my 3 that I recently hatched out, I'd say typical mojave spiders. Nothing like that beauty (thought I love mine to bits lol). Waiting on mine to shed for better pics (1 has shed so far)

(this one is my keeper)

the most "normal" looking one but with a nice reduced tail

I think there is another gene at play. My guess is dad is the one carrying it he looks alittle different. Has he bred anything else before? Do you have pictures of some of his other offspring?

That is the hottest Mojave Spider I've ever seen! The parents look pretty average. It's very confusing...

It looks Leopard or Desert almost but the parents definitely aren't either of those. The black marks over the nostrils are WICKED. I would keep that baby now and ask questions later!

The dad of this Mojave bumblebee that i hatched last year is the same as the spider Mojave's. He's really bright and clean

Iv got some pics of the spider from the same clutch which I think looks like a standard spider

Your wording is spot on. That guy is stupidly bright. Need to bring out the shades.

Oh last year mum kicked out this reduced spider
