    Can you spot the difference between the two morphs?

    Or trick question.. is there even one? Three photos of babies 1 and 2. Baby 1 is baby 1 in all three photos and vice Versa ’s so I don’t switch them at any point. I would appreciate the genetic pros to help identify my morphs 1 was born a few days ago, two hatched today if that makes any difference. Also at what point can I pop the hatchlings?

    Pairing was Enchi spider lesser with ghi pastel. thanks!!

    I think they may both be queen bees with just a little variation. You might have a better shot with the ID after they shed but for now I'm not seeing enough difference to think either has an added gene.

    Identical morphs can be very variable and when you get to a certain point in breeding some animals can become harder to identity they may have an extra gene or may simply be a better looking individual compare to another one.

    So your choices are either sell them as what you can guarantee even if that means the customer will have a bonus gene, or keep them both and breed them.

    I honestly don't but that's why I said wait for the first shed, it can make things a little clearer sometimes. Queen bee ghi usually looks a little dirtier, has a little bit of speckling, yours are pretty clean. Otherwise ghi would of been my guess for the difference but I'm just not seeing it.
