    Normal with striped belly?

    I bought a Normal female that was already gravid, the guy I bought her from said he bred her to a Spider. Out of the 6 eggs, they were 2 Spiders, 2 Normals, and then these 2 that have parallel stripes (one on each side of the belly) that run down the side of their belly. The other 2 Normals have a belly that you would think a Normal would have. These aren't the best pics but you can kind of see the odd belly on one of them. Has anyone hatch Normals like this before?

    The 2 "weird" ones next to each other


    Better shows the belly

    Both are females, but one of the Spiders is a male, so maybe it'd wortth it to bred him to mom next year.

    Interesting belly, but not the same as het pied markers. I'd definitely hold it back though.

    Thats what I thought too. And also one is goldish in color and has a couple places on her that are blushing. Ever since they hatched a few weeks ago, I've been searching for a picture that looks like them. The closest I can find that looked similar was a Specter. Now I have a couple years to decide what to breed them too.


    Took this today (with flash)...Odd ones on the outside, Normal in the middle.


    This one is without flash.
