4 Spaniard - Pics of Rupple Pastel

Sorry it took longer then expected. Painting the 2nd bedroom took longer then expected and the weather for pics outdoors wasn't right. Not to mention it took me some time to wade through disks of pics to find the hatchling pics etc.

On top of all that, he is now blue... LOL... so I couldn't get new pics, but will when he sheds.

So here he is, not long out of the egg....

And as of a few days ago.... his blushing is becoming more pronounced.

Thanks man!

Supers are part of the plan.... plus crossing into the other morphs as has already been done with the other pastels.

I think your right, there is something different.... the adults just look different too.

I have one female spider of breeding size, but have been leaning towards a Lesser Bee project. I guess I need some more spiders.... :)

Agreed,

I'm sure it's been done, but I haven't seen any.... I have had a few females (Normals, but nice) on breeder loans to the sire of the male I have, so I may have some more of these this year. Gives me a chance to work on Supers in a few.

Well I hope the ratio and odds are in your favor, I saw an adult male at a show and I was a fan ever since. You just don't see too many of them around for some reason :confused:

I'm hoping for at least a female or two, but one would be cool.... I'm not greedy.

The adults are interesting, almost a black and white coloration to them.

Yup the male I saw was extremely blushed with almost white coloration. I can definitely see why they got pegged "Stonewashed" pastels.

Two females would be nice...one for supers and another for bees or pewters if it were me.
