    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


    Then the spider Mojave before shed


    After shed


    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 ....

    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?
