Funky Hatchlings

[cschneider]

For some background info on my year so far, my first clutch (lesser x mojave) resulted in 7 out of 8 dead babies. Most had severe deformities. I was so discouraged to lose those BELs, lessers and mojos but very happy that one little mojave is going into its first shed and seems to be doing ok. I thought it was a compatibility issue with the dame and sire until this second clutch came out.

My second clutch (bee x lesser), thank god all 4 are alive and healthy, but have some crazy patterns. I'm wondering if there was a temp spike from a power outage while I was on vacation. What do you think about these guys? I had great odds with 1 lesser spider, 1 queen bee, 1 bumble bee and the funkiest pastel ever lol!






I have one more clutch of 7 (pastel x bee) in the incubator. Fingers crossed they are all healthy.

Sorry to hear that you lost 7 worms. At least the lil mojo made it thru and you got good odds on the second clutch.

I had to double check the pic thought I seen a Calider. Seems like you may have had a temp spike or drop along the way.

Anyways congrats on a great looking clutch.

Thanks! Yeah I'm wondering if the funky color patches will shed off eventually or if they'll hold the color.

Paradox? They look really cool, whatever is going on.

Looks like a few paradox animals to me. Congrats!!

Love the clutch!! Congratulations!

Popping by and I'm still learning my morphs, what's a paradox if you don't mind? Thanks!

[cschneider]

Yeah I was thinking paradox but the parents of the clutch are a bee and a pastel. Either way they are pretty cool looking

[cschneider]

Sorry bee and lesser was the pairing

Wow nice looking paradoxes. A paradox is a light or dark patch streak, a patch of normal or other pattern where it should not be. Its a paradox not genetic usually. There are some beautiful examples we have a lesser with a dark streak. Try the pair next year and see if you get more paradoxes breed back see if it also produces paradoxes. Good luck on the rest of your eggs. I would love to see more pictures of paradoxes.
