Hi All
I hatched out this male from a pairing between my Spider Male and Normal Female. The clutch was spot on odds wise with 1.1 spiders and 1.1 normals
He was the first to come out of the eggs and I decided to keep him back because his look is very different to what I determine as being a normal. His sister looked perfectly normal.
These two pictures above show his different patterning. You can see he has a broken banded look with the dorsal scales being extremely light. It almost looks like he wanted to be a spider but decided 'no' early on during incubation.
Here is a good shot of his head. He has very prominent patches on his head and also he has a contnuation of the side-head stripe that goes right to tip of his upper lip. You can also see in this pic how light the dorsal scales are.
The belly shot. Not clear as you can see but rather very busy with this checkered look running all along his belly.
Any thoughts. I am calling him normal until bred otherwise.
