    First Clutch - Could you help me ID Morph?

    After 61 days our clutch of 7 produced 6 hatchlings! The female maternally incubated them. #7 looks healthy but seems to be comfortable in its egg (head showing) and hasn't come out yet.

    The mom/female is a spider and the dad/male is a pastel.


    Could people help me identify who is who? The like pink ones are amazing looking and look nothing like mom or dad. I believe the spiders have the "pixels" on the sides towards their bellies. I'm a bit confused on which are pastels and/or normals.

    I don't know who is more excited, me or my 10 year old daughter!

    Could I get some help identifying them?

    The pink will turn white. The two really pink ones I believe are bumble bees, the last one is a spider, the rest look like normals. I see no straight pastel. Congrats!

    They do seem light, I figured it was due to not shedding but since there are no straight pastel you could be right about the parents.

    Yea got to wait till they shed then you can tell a lot better
    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    Number 7 of 7 came out after mom was taken off the clutch. It looks like I got my straight pastel... right?

    (Looks like Dad.)

    I see no pastel. I believe the last one to be a lesser. I'm pretty sure the pink ones are lesser bees. Beautiful clutch!

    Ah ha! OK you guys might be right. I think I do remember the term "lesser" being thrown around at the Tampa herp show 4-5 years ago when we bought him.

    Can you take a look at the pics of mom and dad that I posted right after you both replied and give me your final jeopardy answer...?

    The Butter and Lesser pics I find online as so similar. I think I remember "Lesser" being what Dad was.

    Thank you!
