Then again I could be completely wrong. Just curious though...
I did contact him (I don't think he was a breeder) and he told me that just mis-herd him. I was supposed to have bought a proven female spider who had laid a clutch of 6 eggs and a proven male pastel...the spider is male as well as the pastel. He tried to tell me when I contacted him that the pastel was a proven female @500g because "you do know that they lose weight when they have a clutch". And a male VPI Axanthic (the pictured female above) and a female normal hatchling (really a male). I was supposed to have two 1.1 breeding pairs and ended up with 3.1. That is why I doubt that this girl is Axanthic as well.


And for the person saying that I should use a visual pied, I would if I had one... and I do want a pied pair but my budget doesn't allow for one yet...and the little normal male looks really nice (some flames, blushing, Micky mouse head stamp) & I just need a reason to justify keeping the Lil Guy. And he doesn't prove out, it'll still be fun. Plus I'm hoping beyond hope that I didn't get too ripped off as well.
